Evening all,
I have a set of brake callipers that have been sitting stagnant for the last six years and are pretty ratty. I am going to put a reco kit through them and put them back in the old VL Commodore along with new rotors and master cylinder. My question is can callipers be put through an acid bath to clean them up and if so what would be the most appropriate business to approach for this kind of work?
Many thanks, Heefers.

If you aren't going to do it yourself, may you could try a ...... brake repair service?

Why not buy a set of new ones from Holden, they are cheaper then you think.

I use a mix of phosphoric acid and
water for stainless steel cleaning of yacht parts. Works
well with mild steel as
well. You can buy a preparation from yacht chandlers or cleaning supply companies marketed under the name of "Fibreglass or gelcoat cleaner" Cheap and works
well. I soaked our balcony stainless steel wire in it for an hour or two and came out shiny and new looking where before was quite rusted.
