So brought this back up from the dead... Because well, a year later I've finally upgraded them!

So I found an 05 outlander rotting in a scrap yard downtown Hamilton, they said I could have the front brakes and brackets for $50 if I take em off myself.

Well, I decided to go grab them on probably the coldest day of the year and as you can imagine it was one hell of a treat getting them off so I won't bore you with details!

Here they are as I picked em up....




As you can see... They're haggard to say the least. I read this:
Electrolysis process

So I concocked one of these and waited to see what happens....



I was pretty impressed that it was actually doing something! This is what they looked like coming out




They go black I guess from the process but, that rust just flakes off with a screwdriver!



And here you can see what the bracket looks like as it came out and after quickly hitting it with a wire brush...



And lastly I got them sandblasted and powdercoated....







I'm pretty impressed with the outcome! A very good bang for buck I think as I paid peanuts for this set-up!
