    Removing stickers from painted chrome graphics?

    Coat with vegetable oil and let soak for a day. Use a non abrasive sponge, like used for hand washing dishes. Rub with sponge, water, and dish detergent.

    WANTED: Battery tray for a 1962 AMF-built Western Flyer Sonic Flyer

    3-1/4" x 2-1/2" ??? What I found to be objectionable to riding this style pedal is that the footwear rubs the finish off of the center metal tube .
