F.I. CBE, tips can be replaced?

Presto · 08-10-2011, 01:34 AM

I'd like to have tips that don't have ugly brown rust spots on the like my FI does.
Tried different metal polishers on them with no luck.

Would be good if the tips can be replaced with something of better quality.

ive tried mothers aluminum & metal polish by hand with a MF towel, no use, then i tried the same with the mothers powerball, no luck. the brown spots look like rust though they feel smooth when i run my hand over them.

i have also tried nevr-dull.

I know it may sound weird but try Carb cleaner or Brake parts cleaner. Just be sure not to get it on your paint. I used it to get a bunch of stains off the bottom of my Big Dog motorcycles S&S 117 engine block. Wash off any residue and use a metal polish like Never Dull.

Dont know if it will work but it worked on my engine block when nothing else would work.
