I'm in the process of restoring my 11 Sport. I want to keep the original brass lifting eyes and norman pin. Does anyone have any tips on restoring these to their original luster?
Thanks,
Michael

Try either brass-wool or a product called "Never-dull". Salt and vinegar work well also.

Brasso works too, but you have to rub a lot, and in any case brass starts to tarninsh pretty much right away.

After the initial sanding of my Norman pin while chucked in a drill press, I sprayed mine with a clear acrylic and will let nature take its course from here on.
