[Healeys] fuel pumps

[Kees Oudesluijs]

I use flower paper (very fine wet&dry) for that: grade 2000 or higher, 
followed by brass polish to get a highly polished surface which is less 
prone to wear or corrosion. However just in case of an emergency on the 
road I make sure I have some wet&dry 400 in my tool box. Never needed so 
far though.
