A friend posted this to a Honda motorcycle list, and it is too good not to share. They are directions for a vinegar dip and a baking soda dip to neutralize the vinegar. His before and after images of a terminal block filled with grungy male spade connectors is amazing.

Reply #205 starts talking about zinc plating using an Eastman product. Another "wow" treatment.

On Page 8 he talks about rebuilding/restoring a frozen brake caliper. Who can't relate to that?

And if you are interested in seeing a meticulous "not a restoration", click back to Page 1 and start reading. He takes you from buying a complete but needy old Honda motorcycle, strips it, cleans it, rebuilds bits and pieces, buys new where needed, and describes in entertaining detail how he did it. He is almost done making it a whole bike again.
