Becareful cleaning that badge…..

Can you give me suggestions. My first thoughts were q tips and some citrus strip. Please stop me before i do harm.

Most go for paint stripper or oven cleaner….i peel and scrap….but try your method….anything non abrasive….

on very tough paint I’ve filled a can lid with carb/brake cleaner and used your Q tip method….but have a pan of water handy of dipping….

The wheel looks funny is that just grease etc or damage

Not terrible…use it on rear sprocket will cover about all of it out best side out….i may have another kidney bean in decent shape…

That was my thoughts . Is there a readily available brake bendix and sprocket / brake drum still available that will work with the kidney bean wheels? Or do I need to source an original?

If that is rattle can over the badge, ez off oven cleaner should take the paint off with out hurting the original paint on the badge. Just go easy.
