Thought I would post up as per Tom's suggestion, here is my brake pedal assembly that I just finished freshening up. Did it over a few days as time permitted. Here it is as removed from the car. Disassembled: Gave this part a little bath in the vinegar, lemon juice and salt solution. For the rest I used Evaporust, for light stuff I used the red scotchbrite pad and/or steel wool. Cleaned up and painted: These pieces I left their natural colour and coated with some of Eastwood's clear. Here is a before shot: Some more: another, painted the whole thing with Seymour Stainless Steel paint and then sprayed over most of it with Eastwood's Underhood Black. Mine originally faded from black paint to bare steel. Here it is all back together, wasn't hard to do and I think I'll move on to the emergency parking brake next.

Looks great! Results like that are a testament to patience and professionalism. You're a man after my own heart.

Thanks cc68, I am sometimes tempted to start to rush but then figure I've taken things this far so I should just be patient.

...I think I'll move on to the emergency brake next. Nice work. I look forward to seeing the emergency brake done. At least one of mine is a rusted lump.
