Refurbished original steel wheels as factory fitted to Triumph Vitesse Mk2 or GT6 Mk2 & original Rostyle rims..these are quite scarce . I prefer to fit tires myself . Yellow dot on tire side wall goes to valve stem & red dot is heavy side)..always check for rotation arrow …
Restored ‘diamond-cut’ type tatty looking alloys & inner bead corrosion causing repeated deflation-warnings . I removed tires & cleaned inner beads of any corrosion -prep/paint. old ‘diamond cut’ surface removed using orbital sander & discs 400 to 1000 -final 2 x coats of Pro XL of 2k clear/satin. Prep everything with a scotchbrite pad (or clear-coat won’t adhere). I prefer to refit tire /mask up before applying the 2K clear.
No more annoying deflation warnings! 🤔
Rebuilt Honda rear-brake calliper. I stripped it completely down & dipped main body in a tub containing Molasses solution (40-60 water)-which ‘eats’ all rust & (beware it dissolves alloy non ferrous too). Soon it’s all back to clean raw metal (like from foundry). Wash with water & dry (air-line) metal will re rust fast..so needs paint..(ALWAYS use RED brake grease !) 🤪
