I have also polished them to get a nice crome finish.

I cannot post photos until I have 10 posts so once I get to it I will upload all the photos. )
What is this rust you speak of,lol. Im in the middle of the mojave desert so no rust here. Im still learning the electricals and will help any way I can. Ive made the magic smoke come out of a couple of components and have learned quite a bit.

Im waiting on some more pinion gears to put on and try as the one I was using was the biggest one I had. I have a fan/heat sink combo coming as well. Hopefully get to test pinions by midweek.
