Dia Compe brakes restoration..........
« on: November 26, 2009, 03:37 PM »

Had some battered n scratched DC890/1020's n levers with rusty hardware - decided to spruce them up  :)

Original battered bits stripped down :




Rusty hardware into lemon juice for a day...

Yum  :buck2:




Hardware out of the lemon juice......

And a little rub down  :-*




Next the calipers n levers............

Oven prided and feeling sorry for themselves........




Quick hand polish with everbodys favourite polishing paste...........

And everything re-assembled  :)
