The parts we ordered from DMCH showed up today. Impressive packaging although I could see this being a problem if you didn't want the mail service people to know that you have a Delorean.
The parts were very well packaged and labeled.

This is one part that isn't worth trying to fix up. Unfortunately I didn't know that until I saw it on the DMCH website so my wife had already spent time and effort trying to remove the rust from the original one.

This part on the other hand,....is worth restoring. The replacement is very pricey and also it seems like it has no plating or very weak plating to keep it from rusting.
I sealed mine off as good as I could. Blasted it in the glass bead blasting booth.

After blasting I removed the temporary seal and blew out both sides of the diaphragm housing with compressed air.

Sprayed the part with fast evaporating degreaser, primed it, painted with cast aluminum engine paint (the closest thing to looking like zinc plated), then painted with a coat of clear coat engine paint.

That sure changed. It looks good enough for my car. (Doesn?t look good enough for yours)

Yeah I know right? It's kind of hidden out back once the engine is in the car.Originally Posted by Helirich

I was told to make sure I test the vacuum actuator so I did. Seems okay.

I was looking though my pictures. Quite a transformation so far
