Hi Cameron,
It looks like you have a fairly complete list of tools. Having new hardware
on hand is a great idea, I'm about to throw my old drawer (actually 3 now)
of hardware away and buy all new A/N fasteners cause I'm so sick of
searching around for the right size fastener....
One thing I would add to your tool kit is a digital camera so you can
document the restoration.
That and a bunch of plastic baggies with notecards will make reassembly much
easier.
I have two tools now that would have been great for my restoration, 1.
industrial ultrasonic cleaner (just put the parts in come back a few hours
later to a clean part) 2. glass bead blaster(it seems to be the only way to
get those stuborn stains off aluminum.
Cheers,
John Matthews
