...5. Bolt Renewal
There is not question that bolts get rusty and grime through the years but using the originals still remains the best option if at all possible. To bring these bolts back to life clean them chemically after they have been removed and use a wire brush to remove rust and gunk. After they are all cleaned up you can spray them with a clear-coat to help preserve them.
6. Wiring
The wiring under your hood is going to get greasy and grimy over the years and the color coding from the factory might even get hard to distinguish. Start by using a solvent to clean things up and remove the dirt. Then you can inspect for damaged wiring and replace what's necessary.
7. Hose Clamps
Crimp hose clamps and tower style clamps were popular in the past. The crimp style are easy to clean and then reuse and many times the tower clamps can be saved too. If you need replacements be sure to choose the correct style for authenticity.
8. Master Cylinder
The master cylinder is specific to your car. Either have the original rebuilt or buy an over the counter replacement. Make sure you install the correct master cylinder not only for looks but for safety reasons.
