    polished caps

    Have to say Thanks to member "Ram" here on the site, for these caps, they were not polished like this when I got them I forgot to take pictures for the before, but after about a 1/2 hour of polishing on the wheel, this is what I ended up with...

      Those look pretty sweet!
      Doing the bowls next?

      What is your polishing set-up?

        Nope, not going to do the bowls, was not going to do the caps either as my original ones are plastic and I painted those, these I just got, so I might use them...

        as for my setup, it's very basic














        and some sandpaper, micro fibre cloths, a dremel tool for those tight spots, and a lot of patience.......

          Same sized spring cups in both sets of caps?

                    Naw, not going to do the bowls, way too much work, and I am not about to remove the carbs, it's a real PITA, so the bowls will stay as is...

                    clear coat, nope no need the caps are aluminum so I should be OK, just keep an eye on them and some metal polish once in a while should suffice

                      First find out how well they fit your Carbs. I am pretty sure they should be the right fit!
