Post by: kdw712 on October 14, 2014, 04:56 PM: finally got around to sorting out these ratty MKS BM1's

quick wire wheel, file and sanding the fiddly bits
primed and then satin black with a clear lacquer over that

Knowing Kev he would want to keep all the hardware original . I'd stick the screws in a cup of Lemon juice and leave to soak overnight . All that rust will come off , you can then give them a light sand and polish if required ;)
