| Dremel tool bit improvisation! Hi all,
I bought a nearly new Holley 750CFM carb' for my 393 Windsor build & wanted to generally de-flash & clean up the venturis, boosters & also radius tight angles to improve airflow.
So I have just spent a small fortune on a Dremel & a 110 piece Dremel bit kit, (The kit is that comprehensive it even includes a bit that will mash you a cup of tea!!). The 110 piece kit includes some great bits from course grinding stones to polishing bits however it does not include a small intermediate bit for polishing/ light grinding. So here’s a really cool idea which works superbly for delicate aluminium polishing / profiling especially when you don’t want to remove excessive material;
Take a standard green scotch pad & using a 1/2" max hole punch cut a disk out of the scotch pad then thread it onto the Dremel polishing wheel shank.
They polish small areas of ally fantastically & also gently remove flashing, scratches etc without being to abrasive, however they wear out pretty quickly. If you decide to try this don’t forget your safety specs & if you use the scotch pad disks for carb' polishing remember to blank off all the carb' orifices etc to prevent contamination! Happy polishing:thumb: :thumb: ! Martyn
