Hey Clem,
You're a lucky man, indeed, for having had such relative and mentor!
I was just doing this plug cleaning job on my '36 engine, using a basic old time 'blast' tool that nailed to my work bench. This item uses sand/silica media to blast/clean. I also use the brass wire brush process that you do! The plugs came out perfect...despite the .050 existing gap! Where you use oil, I use 'neverseize'. Yeah, replacement is still a problem of supply for huge plugs like this '36 uses..for slightly different reasons,eh. Regards
BTW- one cavaet...USE GOGGLES when blowing sand/anything...not just seeing glasses. One badly bloodshot eye this morning where a speck got to a vessel!
