Robin (UK) Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 I picked this up from the polisher today.I'll soon be replacing my Sharp dual carb intake with this Edmunds... 3 Quote
greg g Posted March 24, 2016 Report Posted March 24, 2016 Wow, was your polisher Polish??? Wonder if those folkseven exist around here anymore. What are you going to do with the Sharp? Those are pretty rare. 1 Quote

What are you going to do with the Sharp? Those are pretty rare. The polishing was done at a local metal finishers' shop where they do chrome and nickel plating etc. There aren't many of those places around. I'll see how I get on with the Edmunds but, down the line, the Sharp may be offered up for sale. It's a nice piece and I'd rather see it on another car than sitting on my shelf.

Desotodav Posted March 26, 2016 Report Posted March 26, 2016 What a great looking intake! I'm just curious though (and sorry if it seems a dumb question)... do you just wipe it down to keep that great shine, or is there some sort of clear.high temperature coating available to maintain the shine? 1 Quote

I have several polished aluminium parts on my car. I haven't ever lacquered or coated them - I just wipe them over occasionally and try to keep them clean and they've all stayed looking quite good.

pflaming Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 Hey, while you are deciding to sell or not, may I store them on my truck? Very nice. 1 Quote
rb1949 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Posted March 27, 2016 People won't notice the rusty motor with that fine piece. 1 Quote

I think I recall my mate saying he could ceramic coat in clear. Just thinking out loud!! 1 Quote

61farnham Posted March 28, 2016 Report Posted March 28, 2016 Hey Robin, The tall Edmunds looks good it'll give you a boost on the sand over the Sharp . Post a pic when it's fitted I'd be interested how the linkage looks. Saw your car on Friday, looked good. Regards.......... Simon. 1 Quote

Sorry we didn't find each other on Friday. My car won a top 10 award, which was an undeserved, but pleasant, surprise. Quote
