The stingers were in good shape except for a couple small areas of melted foam from my 2-into-1 setup. Some acetone took care of that funk and they got a quick trip on the buffer as well. The silencers were in decent shape, but oxidized so they were going to need some attention. The snap-rings that held the endcaps on were a bitch to remove and once I got 'em out, they were bead blasted, cleaned and the visible ends polished. The cans were given a quick sand with 400 wet/dry paper after scraping off the stickers and then polished. I'd had a manilla envelope with new packing floating around the garage for years and couldn't find it for the life of me. I ended up ordering more from Toomey and wouldn't you know it, as soon as I hung up the phone, I found the envelope with the packing I already had. I thought about calling Toomey back, but figured it'd be a good idea to have some extra packing on hand.
