Todays progress - part 2
I have had the brake shoes soaking in petrol for a week and continued with cleaning today.
P8140112.jpg Original state when hub removed and 70 years of mess exposed. Remember? I sure do. Can't wait to get at the front brakes.  PA090285.jpg This after about 10 minutes of steel wool work. You didn't expect the crud to just fall of, did ya? PA090297.jpg PA090291.jpg Another 5 minutes in the sandblaster and 'lick o' paint'. I don't know how thick the brake linings were originally, but they couldn't have been much thicker than this, surely. PA090292.jpg Another of the great advantages of sandblasting, you can see the little details clearly! Oh, nearly forgot. The nose panel & second seat are still with the sandblasting/engineering place. Neither being ready when I went to collect them Saturday A.M.
