There are a few scuffs in the levers but are not deep and show some wear of road duty as would be suspected in an older set of levers.

The levers and clamps with the correct hardware. Pivot bushings have been replaced with new ones, and one new grub screw installed in the levers.

Closest fit I found for a box unless I rob a new saddle of it's packaging. There is room for some small bits, or "borked" parts from the BOC. You know the stuff pantographed Cinelli kickstands, and other useless items.

This is the leather wrap from four golf grips. It is more than you will need for your grip project. This leather is infused with paraffin to make it waterproof. You can use a bit of rubber cement to make it stay put when wrapping and it should hold the grip wrap in place.

Levers were missing some of the nylon washers for pivots, band clamp has the wrong nut assembly and needs one band, and the set screws for the pivots were missing.

A couple of small nicks in the leather on the underside, but otherwise looks to be OK.

This picture does not do justice to the group of parts that came out of the freehub. Note the very few bearings in the freehub assembly.

A single burst of power on the driver and tool combination and the lock ring is loose. About five seconds to open the freehub.

Next step is to remove anything that doesn't look like a lock ring tool. I have marked it black to show what is going to leave.

This was the "fity" cent socket from the pawn shop. You can see the outside diameter of the socket is just a bit large to fit in the body.

Th engagement of the tool with a lock ring. The ring had left-hand threads so it is important to turn it the right way to dis-engage it from the freehub.

And what it looks like from the side. Careful inspection will show a dent near the area over the BIM sticker.

Somebody got under the left side and gave it a bit of customization that looks a lot worse than it really is.

After the primer coat. There will be sanding and feathering of damaged areas elsewhere on the stays, with the ultimate goal of an under-coat of silver and then clear blue to get to a color match to the rest of the frame.

A bit of wire brush work on the rust and oxidize area has the BB clean enough to give it some primer coat for the time being.

After a wash with clear water, the rust is pretty much rust free.

Just the right amount of clearance for the acid bath after a bit of trimming on the container. I am not going to have a large amount of acid to dispose of after the treatment.

I am being a bit of a cheapskate but the damage didn't need a big pan of Oxalic acid so the hand cleaner container wins the day.

The down tube rust is gone as well. The OA patch method is a good solution to getting the OA localized to just the damaged area.

The "Patch" applied to the area where the Loto is trying to quit rusting. I can't tell what caused the damage, but I suspect it was likely done with a Brian wind trainer clamp.
