My brackets are full of grime and etc. Is there any solvants or something I can stick it into and it will make it clean like new?

Any ideas?

 

The only solution I found was to bead blast them.Tried simple green and a host of other solvents, They worked to clean them up but not "new" looking.

 

Simple Green will work great to remove the oil/grime/gunk on them, but won't make them look new. Bead blasting will work, but you can also try cookingthem. Put them in a oven(not the one in your kitchen) at 400* for about a half hour. This will cause any oil/grease/etc to leach out of them and should leave them looking nice and new. Its how parts are cleaned prior to powdercoating them. You could also just have them powdercoated.

 

HOT TANK THE F*** out of them , i just did this to my brackets , then i painted them gray , it cost me 5 dollars to hot tank my brackets , the oil stains dont come off completly , thats why i painted mine , i'll try to get some pix tomorrow

 

This may sound like a dumb question but where can I look to have them bead blasted?

 

rough cast aluminum wheel cleaner

follow the direction to the letter, its just acid and left on to long will turn it black. But will clean the shiet out of it. Not easy to find always but works great.

 

A machine shop , when i got my heads resurfaced at this shopthat only secializedin heads , they had just bead blasted some tiny little toyota heads , they were alluminum , they look like raw alluminum "not shiny"dusty as heck , im assuming that the brackets would look the same .

 

00 steel wool and elbow grease!

 

A little dusty ,but you get the idea .
