Sequential Tail light housings/buckets/mounts

[SGT.SNAKE]

I've been searching the web for NOS "Sequential Tail light housings/buckets/mounts,"

would anyone happen to have any pictures of them, NOS or Pristine condition? Tips and tricks to restore them are always welcomed and highly encouraged.

Thanks

The short version is scrub the dickens out of them with various stiff plastic brush down to a tooth brush for the hard to get spots. Next step is to go over the diecast assembly with wire wheel cleaner or comparable acid based wheel product. Wear gloves as this stuff is hard on your skin. This is not the only way but how I do them.

Thanks Mr. Gaines. I'll share the progress when I start.

Mr. Gaines is correct on using an acid-based wheel cleaner. Mothers makes one for polished aluminum wheels that took off years of baked on brake dust without harming the finish. Only a little scrubbing was needed. He is also correct it is nasty stuff wear rubber gloves and some sort of glasses if working closely. The new versions are not as strong. - Kevin

Excellent Chris,

One item to mention. The potmetal is not very conductive. If you are painting it, its probably going to create more issues

Agree.

After applying paint make sure to roll up some sand paper and clean out the light socket holes. Apply a liberal amount of dielectric grease to ALL pieces when reassembling.

Awesome Mr. Chris. Love the videos of them operating. Appreciate you both on the conduction tips.

I assuming you don't have access to a tumbler but having done probably 40-50 sets we blast them with light media then tumble them. Then spray reflective paint inside using corks to keep socket holes un painted. Not a detail anyone will see but the masking of reflective side was originally done as a box, tape doesn't follow curves of side lips. When done can't tell from NOS
