Of coarse my vent boot looked like shit so I reached into my stash to find the next worse one to use. Someone really needs to repop these.

I chose to use the second one.

As soon  as I started putting it in it crumbled in a couple spots so I taped it up. The tape wouldn't stick because I just sprayed them all with 303 aeroapace.SANY4066_zps6bfte5gl.jpg

Everything is looking like shit. SANY4060_zpsujemk9pi.jpg

Get a brass brush from a welding supply store and use it to clean the junk off. Fine steel wool works too.

 

If you're gentle enough, you can remove the scale without leaving any scratches and what you'll end up with is a nice patina without the corrosion.

I bought a 411 sss cluster that was pretty rough. It cleaned up better than I thought it would. Good enough to use the face from it. The speedo was seized and the rear housing had some extra brackets so instead of cutting them off I just swapped the gauge face into my cluster.

They should have all been made that way, but then they would not be special.

I agree.

 

That cleaned up nicely good job, Did my 520 a couple years ago.  Did you upgrade to LEDs yet?

I did on my other 521 but forgot that I hadn't so when I get some extra cash I'll put some in. On a side note the 9 led cool white for my dome light has been discontinued.https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/ba9s-ba7s/ba9s-led-bulb-9-smd-led-tower-ba9s-retrofit-car/9/67/
