Wheelmang Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) I just about completed the rebuilding of my 1926 DB carburetor last night. I love the look of the brass portions of the body. A PO had painted everything white. I assume that was not original? Can someone please post a picture of what an OE looks like? Thanks all.

RichBad Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 There are some photos of mine here I think it’s a slightly later model but probably similar and I’m pretty sure the finish is mostly correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelmang Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Thank you for the pictures. Very similar except for the addition of the air filter. Wish mine had that set up. Did you use some kind of clear coat on the brass or just leave it natural? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The carb is left in bare brass, no paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichBad Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I left mine natural - don’t know how long it will stay like that but I’d expect that a clear coat would end up looking worse over time (chips, peeling etc) and not natural. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
