So i did the electrolysis thing a few month back and eventually got all my uprights done.

So from this for £40









Then 2 days per item in caustic soda n electrolysis n then hammerite spray.

New bearings.

And........




Got a bit of grease on the bottom arm....

I'm very pleased with the result. Total cost incuding the abive rusty urights n calipers, discs n pads, bearings, paint n soda is £86.00
