I would advise against sanding the top of the group unless it is badly warped. They are usually chrome plated brass and you don't want to remove the chrome and expose the brass. It would be much more prone to corrosion than chrome. Try cleaning it with a heavy duty scourer or even fine steel wool, but not emery.
I used stainless steel bolts on mine, because they are less likely to corrode. You don't have to use Allen-head cap screws like the originals, I used hex-head SS bolts and they worked fine. Before I screwed them in, I greased them lightly with high temperature bearing grease.
