SU Springs and bits. 120-130

Hello All,

I'm currently rebuilding the HIF6's for the B20 and have been polishing everything in sight (I even did the HS-6's dashpots for fun). Now that I have these parts done, I don't like the look of the springs and other metal bits (I've replaced all the screws with stainless steel). So a question for the retentive/obsessive out there - what do you do with your carb parts - plate, powder, paint? I'd prefer something I could do myself, but have a good relationship with the powder coating shop.

I've got my first set of parts back from being powder coated and will post shots soon. Everything looks great - hell of a lot of work polishing and making everyting pretty, but it was worth it...the ceramic coated manifold is a work of art - only 20 hours of casting grinding, but the results are very nice.

I also finally got my stainless dual down pipe exhaust section built (1.75" duals into 2.25 collector) - probably should have bought a HP system, but where's the fabricating fun in that?

Craig
