I just got these from Jonathan yesterday, and having a bit of OCD, dove right into bringing them back to life.

When these are complete, polished and capped, I will put up a step by step how to pictorial on my website. For now, here are some rework shots before the stripping and polishing begin.

Here is what a little time with a polishing wheel will get you on some used bolts. As usual for my projects on a budget, I try to get the most out of second hand parts. Sweat equity allows me to spend the cash where it makes the most sense.

very nice work...I'd love to see a how to with the polishing wheel.

do you have pics of the lugs that give a better view of the seat area? they look cone shaped to me. the wrong lugs can ruin your wheels.

Thanks for caring enough to ask. As a total 914 newbie, I really rely on the members here to help me avoid mistakes. Here are a couple pictures. The seat is more concave dish than cone.

there are threads about removing the anodize off the wheels using easy off oven cleaner for s short period of time - maybe you already saw them?

Easy Off works really well. Here are some 6x16's I just refinished for my 70 project.
