Have the Breeze rollbars and after chroming, the inside tubes are rusted. Need to find a wire wheel/sander that can remove rust/scale on inside. Mainly for the rear down leg, so that it will slide.
But, need a long shank on it to reach about 10" inside tube. Any idea where I can get one, or a suggestion to reach inside and clean it up
Thanks Rob

How about a piece broom handle with Emery tape glued along the length? A budget option is just to nail the Emery in the end of the handle and the grip the tape at the opposite end.

A good bit of back & forth action should get it done 🙂

Use a cylinder hone or a brake hone.

Flexible Cylinder Hone

Or a 3 stone brake hone.

Bend a wire rod or piece of coat hanger over on its self on one end. Use that to hold a piece of sandpaper. Belt sander sandpaper works good. Chuck the other end of the wire in your hand drill. Roll the sandpaper up and stick it in the pipe. Now use the drill to spin it. Works great. Like a big flapper inside the pipe. Learned this from an old mechanic friend the other day.

x2 on the flexible cylinder hone. That's what I used, and it works quickly.

3M makes drum/ flapper sanders that’ll go on your drill. Just put a drill extension on it! Done in no time at all!

A couple more things.

Give the lower legs a fine sanding/polish too, this will guarantee that they slide in and out of the upper roll bar tubes easier and don't forget to dab some anti-seize before final assembly.

I used a brake cylinder hone, and also a flex hone from Amazon

B002XUL072

BC 1-1/4" 120 SC Flex-Hone

Used a brake cylinder hone on a drill extension, seemed to work ok. Problem is at lip of Roll bar tube chrome seems to have built up just enough to make it difficult for down tube to slide easily.
Alittle with brake hone, sanding down tube, and things are sliding better. And on final install will use alittle antiseize.
Thanks all
