advice needed please

[grommit]

Hello all,
i have been tinkering with my Enfield for what seems a life time, as you may know the quality of the metal is very poor, i hope you can see in the pic the problem area, i have started using numerous attachments on my dremel to get the rough off then i will prob use dry grit then wet, as i am in the UK the grit is different, as the area is fiddly i would appreciate your advice on what process you would use with what tools etc,as i have limited attachments left for the dremel, then once thats done its re assemble and it is going in my pals shop for sale,then onto another project.
i dont know what i would of done with out this forum and the advice you all have given,its took aprox 10 months to get it to a desired standard,so i am confident for my next project,but not another Royal Enfield the metal is just too rough.
many thanks once again.

well grommitt this is the attachment i would start with.
http://www.dremel.com/en-us/attachme...=66408&I=66415
then choose the drums with the grit that looks the closest to the rough area you want to romove and then get all the finer ones from that.
if you decide to use this wheel make sure to use a light touch and keep moving or you will wind up with a rippled up mess. best of luck mate.

always glad to help out when i can. sorry to hear you are getting rid of the enfield. i have never owned one but always fancied them.

hello mate, if ya ever get an Enfield make sure its a definate UK build one not the Indian model,as you can imagine the finish of the metal is really sub standard,hence the price the modern replica's are going for,but on a plus for them they are making them with disc breaks,electric start and a few other mods as standard.dont get me wrong i have enjoyed the challenge and it has served as a practice project for me.i have a 750 commando in line for my next play around.i will keep you posted and no doubt i will be asking advice as and when.
cheers pal.
