Decided to get my carbs blasting as they looked gash after the engine was painted.
So some before pictures

A guy called Nick Claydon at CC Aqua Blasting in Essex.
He sometimes has an ad on ebay he also has a web site.
Excellent service - posted carbs on the Saturday and I got them back the following Friday even before the cheque had cleared.
£28 + vat each carb plus postage.
All I can say is they are like new.

Very very nice job. :cool::cool::cool: Seen his advert a few times and always looks like a mint job for quite a cheap price!

They look very good matey, will really suit the bay when added to the engine

There is another company that does this and they also ultrasonically clean the carbs so the internals are done too.
Will try and find the link, got it somewhere as I was going to send my spare sets of carbs there.

I have the facilities to do this at my home.

We use glass bead though, its very good, and leaves an excellent finish.

I may be interetsed in starting a small business, just doing small items etc.
