Topic: Cleaning fuses holders Dumb question

[bluezboy]

 I need to get my holders nice and shiny. Can I clean them with 000 steel wool? Suggestions are welcome!

That should work maybe wrap some around a round object. I use a 22cal. brush they are sold at any WALLmart in sporting goods section.

+1 on rolling paper into a tube.  Lets you slide it back and forth, as well as spin it.  A standard 'tool' if you've ever worked on British sports car Lucas systems.

thanks guys, I'm headed out to get some emory paper.

IMHO Bollingball told you the best way to do it. Emory paper will work but a .22 Cal bore brush is a perfect fit and will shine 'em like new in a few moments - slip it in both clips and twist it both ways with thumb and finger. Doesn't spread 'em - no possible damage. No messing with paper or something to wrap it around.

Either way WORKS  but the bore brush is perfect.

Cheap at K-Mart etc.

+1 Gaither.  After re-reading the thread I'd have to agree.  Won't know a 22 cal. brush if I tripped over it though.   But will check out Walmart and add one to my tool box.

If you're into Lucas, you'll love the bore brush.

Really, it is perfect for the job. Plus, if you ever buy a .22 Cal pistol or rifle, you'll need one then, too.

Happy days!

Was into Lucas, got tired of trying to keep the smoke in.  SOHC's are much more fun.

Never had a use for a .22, no large rodents to control, and the police frown on using similar methods regarding the two legged kind.

I like the 22 for the price of the ammo when the two leg rodents show up I break out the 7.62 Airborne All The Way Everyday

In the past my responce was to answer the door with my Dane beside me.   Funny how they always would take a step back.

Ah, we started out cleaning fuse clips and now we're into self-defense. My how we wander. 

I wont get started on it but it ain't always safe "out there". I try to be WELL  prepared and pray it never happens. I've had occasion/s to point one but fortunately I haven't had to go past that. [And, it wasn't a .22!]

IMHO Bollingball has the plan.

Peace!
