after a quick clean in the sink with warm water and a dry with paper towel's i put them in the overn on 100 deg for about 15-20 mins to make sure they were dry.. i did try to electro plate them with nickel when it arrived as in my electro rust removal blog but it didn't come out that good ... well not to what i would like so i rust painted the main parts. where there was electrical contact i left the original chrome and didn't paint it..

now to put on some push connectors and a new plug as these were soldered on so you could not replace them very easy..
