Carburettor restorations
#1 Carburettor restorations
I have always had my carburettor sets on manifold restored by David Lonsdale who has always done a fantastic job. Sadly he tells me he has retired now. Are there any recommendations our there please ?

Yes much fun I have rebuilt lots of carburettors , however the effort in getting everything plated and polished was well worth passing the project to David as he was set up to do the work. I am unsure what the professionals use to clean the bodies , glass bead or ultra sonic agitators but they surely come out looking better than new !

Depends whose show. Over-plating and mirror polishing would be penalised by serious judges.
