I may have to get a courier to deliver some gear to a potential customer, if it goes underway. How do i go about cleaning an oily greasy gearbox
(including where the axels mount), a torqueconverter (without stripping its paint) the canisters and pump?
ANy good home cleaning products?
Can of degreaser?
Can of degreaser and a stiff dunny brush, coat, scrub, recoat, rescrub etc. Was off with a bucket of hot water. Repeat until clean. Wear old leather
gardning gloves. Do it over a few days so the degreaser can do its thing. As the grunge goes, a 3m green scouring pad, dishwashing liquid neat and
lots of elbow grease.
It is a bastard of a job.
Tunes and beer help
kkk
ps, keep your gauges, you will get them to work. You are about to have a crash course in electrics and mechanics. Get the idiot book.
you talking about speedo and fuel?
yeah, forgot i still had them up for grabs in my other thread, took em off. found out the early one i got fits and works great with my laterbug. And
the speedo is MPH and KMH together !! :P
by the way, thanks for the tips.

Kero is a great degreaser if you brush it on & let it soak in/brush. Works much better if the metal is not stone cold. Degreasers may be faster but can tend to remove some paints more than the kero. Other solvents can damage the paint (or your health!)
there's some great stuff called CT-18... if you put it on straight its a great degreaser/de muddy'er... or you can dilute it and use it to wash the
paint 
it just looks like liquid car wash soapy stuff, but it really is a miracle invention... in my humble opinion 
cheapo $2 cans of degreaser and scouring pads after a good scrape with a screwdriver
What ^^^ said. and a steel brush with long bristles
great!
for once i got the materials without having to worrya bout going to a local supercheap. Thew. 
groovy,
thanx fellas.
The prospective buyer howeva lost interest in the box. doesn't look like its getting sold now.
bummer
it happens.
Just that the dough would help so much if i sold a few things.
5 hrs of work a week isn't supplying the funds, parts are all i got.
I know the feeling!
