Cleaning with #80 grit glass beads on aluminum and steel.

[Suzsmokeyallan]

You usually don't get to see the "before and after" restoration photos really close, so here's some good examples. These are some of the Suzuki U70 parts that will be painted and cleared in metallic silver, a colour they used to be originally back in 1968.
As I'm doing silver right now for other parts it was time to drop these in the machine and prep them.
What you are seeing is how they look straight from the machine using #80 glass beads at 90psi against an untouched part, what a difference this is.


The rear inner drums brake shoe surface, before



The front inner drums brake shoe surface, after, the steel brake shoe liner looks like aluminum doesn't it..



The front hub cleaned versus the rear one uncleaned



The sprocket cush drive cleaned



Some parts cleaned and one untouched.
