Well. There is loads of ways to work it.
I do the fish mouth first. Belt sander is quick.
Then fill it with brass and pull it into the tube with a bit of heat.
Now needle files and emory cloth should clean it up nicely.
The photo is pre soaking it in water which makes it look bad. But I reckon just sand blasting this should get it close enough to acceptable once powder coated. I might not worry to much about this as finishing the bike a riding around with my daughter is first priority.
