removing brake mounts

paul clarkson:
thinking of having my robinson cruiser powder coated, if i do i am going to remove the brake mounts and cable guides . whats the best way to get these off? grinding and finish off with a file? would i have to finish off with wet and dry so no marks will be seen once powdered?. thanks

harris:
get a few pics up of the model
as chopping it about might kill it.

sawzall:
spot on you answered your own question, just use production paper to sand frame before you use wet and dry or you will be rubbing for ever, first use 80 grit 120 and so on until frame is scratch free...just as long as you don't de -value frame as danny pointed out ???

paul clarkson:
dont know much about posting pics but the frame is a 95 robbo cruiser in chrome. there is a picture of it under parks tracks and gatherings page 9 under notts old school classic pics. thanks

paul clarkson:
been having a measure of the brake bridge. does anybody know if a caliper brake will reach the rim if i do grind off the brake mounts? it seems a little  tight if it will or not.advice please :-\ :-\ :-\
