Hey,

Just looking for some ideas. I have to clean up my engine bay before the h22a goes in. There's rust, dirty lines, and noticable of all are the rusty brackets/connectors. What is a good product to use on the painted areas, compared to the lines. Does anyone know where I can get new brackets (hold hoses)? I have seen these brackets new in other pics of members rides; what do you call these (they are holding hoses and bolted to the firewall).

Sorry about the blurry pics.

Also the rusty item on the top right of this pic I believe is the cruise control. Please correct me if I am wrong, but this can be completely removed as the cruise control on the H22a is different?

Thanks in advance.

Simple Green

Power Washer

Scrubbing brush

Sand paper to clean off surface rust

etc

Also if you want cruise control you can keep it but you have to swap the f22 tb

 

thanks. Someone else mentioned de-greaser spray too.

 

X2 on the simple green and scrub brush. Maybe some mild soap and degreaser too.

I prefer Castrol Super Clean, whenever I do an engine swap I like to sand and repaint. this is my engine bay (Mmmm Stitch Welded):

Really the only cool thing is my fiancee's bottom end. The aluminum Koyo radiator is a close second.
