Cleaning and Polishing Tools and Supplies:

ft2) Aftermarket twisted-stem WIRE-BRISTLE CLEANING BRUSHES. The greatest tool ever invented for cleaning bored and threaded holes, such as in carb bodies, float bowls, even master cylinder piston bores. Available in either 18-8 stainless steel or brass, these brushes not only help make the job of cleaning parts so much easier, but also insure that threaded passages are clean, clean, clean and less likely to strip or deform when fasteners are inserted once again. All brushes have a "finger-loop" in the end to make twisting action easier. Stainless brushes will last longer and can clean more aggressively, so be gentle when using them on aluminum carb bodies and bowls. Brass brushes are gentle on soft metals like carb bodies, but require more effort to produce a cleaner surface and wear out more quickly.

ft6) Aftermarket plastic-handled CLEANING TOOTHBRUSHES are great for general cleaning and grunge removal, very handy to keep a few of these around. The garden-variety standard "headless" brushes are just like regular toothbrushes, while the deluxe "headed" style brushes feature additional rows of 135-degree angled brushes at the head (or "snout") of the brush, making it possible to reach into restricted areas and "scrub" smaller areas that the main body of the brush won't or can't reach.

These "headed" brushes are a great time saver and one of the most useful tools that we own......we start to get all panicky and break out in cold chills whenever we start running low on them! And once you try them, we'll wager you'll never go back to the standard style, either..............perfect for cleaning into all the nooks and crannies of carb bodies and bowls, brake calipers, inside oil pans, etc.

cps2) Aftermarket high-quality WET-OR-DRY FINISHING SHEETS. Since these don't contain "sand", we really can't call them "sandpaper", but you get the idea. A large assortment of ultra-fine finishing paper is just the trick to polish the vacuum pistons and piston bores in your carbs, or master cylinder and brake caliper bores, ridding them of any surface oxidation and minor imperfections that will create interference or friction and prevent the pistons from moving freely---causing all sorts of high-idle (and other problems) in your carbs, or dragging brakes in your calipers. Our recommendation is to start with the 400- or 600-grit paper and move up 200 grit at a time until you get the bores micro-polished to an incredible smooth finish. One 9.5" x 11" sheet of each size will be enough to do four carbs or one pair of calipers; use two sheets of the 5-1/2" x 11" super-fine grit paper.

Of course, this premium finishing paper is just the thing you'll need for prepping any painted surface for painting.
