Earlier readers may remember that I was having a problem with multi-coats of lacquer on the final drive hub, so here's an update... I slapped on some Nitromores then used a plastic scraper to remove the bubbled up lacquer (Health & Safety precautions - blah blah blah). I used one of those black nylon scrubbing/scouring pads lubricated with WD40 to remove the dried excess on the large flat areas. This worked well but I needed to use my Dremmel to get into those tight corners. I bought a couple of Dremmel scouring wheels (2 in a pack for around £5) but these were soon worn out so I sourced a pack of 40 from Hong Kong for around £10. These wore out just as quickly but at least I had a large stock of them. As the grunge was removed, I saw that there were lots of spanner/hammer dings so I decided that a mirror finish would not be possible without removing a fair amount of alluminium. A final clean with some alloy cleaner and a buff up seems to have produced an acceptable finish.
