Polishing top yoke?
Permalink  
 


Has anyone polished their top yoke? thinking about doing it to mine as they have seen alot better days,

one thing is putting me off is how good the finish will stay,not sure if it will get marked up if it gets dirty?


Any help appreciated, trying to get my 1993 tdr looking great again :D

yeah i did, found earlier it had been running around with no water as head gasket has gone so orderd that, plastics are mostly scratched or cracked so think i might try and convert it into a dt? something for me to think about

anyway yeah i want to polish the top yoke as the paint is chipped and faded, reckon it would look good but never done it before

iv just had mine done.. top and bottom.. look unreal.. file the cast marks off them gently and then wet and dry them 400 grade all over until smooth as **** before you start polishing with drill/ bench grinder (which ever you use). il get some photos up in next few days.. you will deffo want to do it :)
