I would like some guidance as to what is considered correct restoration for the exterior of Weber carbs for the early 911s. Bead blasting bad; walnut shell blasting good? Don't blast, dip? What about surface oxidation after the blasting? Is there a hard wax that may be applied to slow the oxidation? Should the brass jet holders, etc be polished, replaced, or remachined to provide the same turning marks as original?

Also, I placed a thread earlier regarding the straw-yellow finish on some of the Webers which appears to be an alodine (chem coat) finish. Haven't had much success finding a solution. Pierce Manifolds said they didn't know either...

Any new thoughts, besides wondering why I spelled concours incorrectly?
