Spent the weekend helping my buddy Chris buy his first Delorean. All I managed to do on my own car was the brake servo and master. wry

Dawn dish soap has worked wonders so far on the brake master and clutch resevoir. Soaked for 2 days then put some pennies and dimes in....shook around ...emptied ...now On soak number 2

Brake cleaner (aerosol stuff in a can) works great too if there is any stubborn gunk left after the Dawn soak. I squirted in a good amount of cleaner and a handful of small washers, shook everything around and it was like brand new in there afterwards

Hehe...you'd think they would send a rust free one...unless they're hoarding those for the new cars.

You could send the fuel fill neck out for plating and it would come back looking brand new. If your old one just has surface rust you could send that one instead of the new one from DMCH so you're still able to drive the car.

DMCMW sends batches of parts out for plating so you could get your fill neck included with the next batch. If I had to guess it would probably cost around 20-30 bucks for the plating and shipping.

Yeah Mike did the plating on my brakes...it just pissed me off dmc Houston charged me 80 bucks for a rusty part.
