A fully polished Eaton blower and manifold. I'm psyched at how it came out.

Abby,
The Autorotors can come polished from the factory. They are just as shinny. The inlet, belt tensioner and pretty much all the metal parts of the whole kit can be polished.

The stock casting of the Jag/Eaton SC is really rough. I was pretty amazed to see that they could finish it that well. And considering the odd shape and nooks and crannies it's even more amazing.The shop mentioned that they would first sand it with various grits from rough up to 2000 or 3000 grit. Then they probably used some sort of polishing compound and a high speed buffer.

Andy, you need some shots of that polishing work against a black cloth/towel etc. under indoor light. that would really show it off.

The manifold and other parts are powdercoated clear but the SC is not. The PCers wouldn't do the SC w/o disassebmly. There are polishes and other treatments such as wd40 and corosion X that will keep the polish on the SC from oxidizing much longer. The clear PC kills some of the luster so it's a trade off.
