y prefer hand clean for zamak
That depends on the cleaner additional you use.
Don't use bicarb.
I use a aluminum friendly cleaner and neutralize after use.

well, i use ultrasonic on the yellow bits and also in those elements that have nothing attached,
i would not use on carbs because it moves the blocking bits (example in red arrows) that may become loose and because of residues
i might be too old school, but i only use a mixture 50% petrol 50% diesel
Clutch nylon bushings replaced. The restoration shop inserted the bushings on the pivot of the clutch pedal where one of them got deformed. I could feel the pedal had a slight creaking when shifting at slow speeds. The 2 bushings were about $4 at the dealer. A touch of lubricant on the bushings and now smooth clutch engagement.

I put a new set of tires on my CSL , it was bittersweet in that I discarded the new set of 225/60 /14 that were on the car , they had never been on the road other than the trip from the mechanics to home , the tires were 23 years old and as hard as rocks. My new set are 205/70/14, on the plus side the trunk floor now sits as it should with the smaller tire. The car was last on the road in 1986, I purchased the car 6 years ago as a bare shell, the next step are a few short trips , any hopefully no issues.
Made it sound at last…

central console with gauges and radio is working properly,
The Frankfurt stereo is a great upgrade,
still need to manage the front dash speaker, but ...
Do you use a hamer or a special tool?
Removed tool storage tray yesterday to repair a broken hinge. Decided it was finally time to replace the old foam.
New foam was purchased from coupe king about 3 years ago. High time I did it.
Old stuff came off easy:
I‘m one of those guys who keeps the tools in a tool roll. Only a few extra essentials are in the tool box.
Hinge still came apart. All re-enforced with JBWeld. (The 24 hr cure time stuff)

good work on the box - i have an extra piece of the rubber holder if you ever want to replace that part without buying a new box.
next time you pull the tool tray out, pop the vinyl panels off the trunk lid and tighten the vinyl up on the panels + re-glue. it makes a tremendous visual improvement since its at eye level.
