List,
I am getting ready to rebuild a set of SU carbs that I have and have a
refinishing question.
I would very much like to get the aluminum carb bodies back to a point that
they look like new castings. By that, I mean that they will have that
"flecked" look of new castings. I am not interested in a polished look, just
very clean.
I have a blasting cabinet and am considering walnut shells or soda blasting
as a possibility.
