Yes, mostly by hand. The castings are not in any way polished, rather rough in fact, and their deep dish shape makes it tricky to get any of my basic power tools to work inside so I'm using a drill mounted sander jobbie to smooth it out before working down with wet-n-dry. Laborious but cheap. I bought a new seat for $100 off ebay, it's identical except for the bolt mountings so I decided it was easier to strip off the new seat cover and foam and attach it to a refurbished old seat base rather than try the other way.
