Soak it in vinegar and it'll be perfectly fine.

Sand blasting internal engine parts is a no go. Try what CJ maybe it will work im not sure.

Having trouble determining how they mount up, I dont want to weld them to the pegs. You wouldn't know if there a mount kit that came with these orignally?

Robb it looks like there used to be a plate on those nerf bars that would then have 2 holes in them to run a bolt and nut through one side of the pegs. That looks to have been ground or cut off though.

He's doing fine now. He had an angenoma under his right eye. I laid him down and gave my other son a bath. He started crying and I went in there and checked on him. Apparently it burst and was bleeding heavy and it wouldn't stop. Talk about something to send a vet with severe ptsd into command and control mode. Lol what a effing night.

Well today I was busy looking at four wheelers. Picked up a 13' TRX450R. I'll be selling more of my 88' 250 in the weeks to come. Maybe even some 86 stuff. Thanks for being patient everybody.

How long do I need to let the parts soak in vinegar? I think it's been a couple days now and the vinegar is all rustic looking.

Normally a tank will clean out over night, maybe 2 nights. Pull them out and clean them off real good and see how they look
