Title: easy one for you - what are these mk3 parts?
Post by: Lylos on 15 July 2009, 19:56

Guys, an easy one - I'm selling these on ebay but I'm wondering what they are exactly... I think they're calipers - can someone confirm for me.

You were robbed at £70 unless they are the 312mm mk4 caliper carrier brackets.

Anyway buy some large bottles of Tescos or similar own brand vinegar (very cheap) and get a suitable size container. Cover the brackets in the vinegar and leave to soak for a few days. All the rust and sh!t should just fall off with a bit of brushing. If not leave to soak for another few days.

Good luck with your sale.

Paul

Used to work as an electroplater, we would use hydrochloric acid to get the likes of that clean. Vinigar is good on chips though :grin:
