Hi,
So at a recent Bmw club ‘show and shine’ judges said my engine bay lost me points. Need to fix a few things and seeking input:
1) Re the metal throttle tube, tried various metal polishes and can’t improve it. What metal is it? Any suggestions of a product to remove tarnishing, so it looks clean?
2) My booster vac hoses look tatty. Thinking of painting them black (or grey). Has anyone done this? or any other recommendations of products to use to spruce them up? (I don’t want to replace the hoses since I think the ones I have are period correct).
3) Relay near the battery. I tried to pull it out (to repaint silver) and it won’t budge? Is there any trick to get this out?
4) Lastly anyone selling: - 2 x black bonnet stoppers - or the plastic tube (with the zinc plated O brackets) that sits on top of the valve cover that the injector wires feed through.
Any advice appreciated.
