Rust bustin'

I started with the rear plates from the clutch basket. They appeared as bad as all the other plates.


The photo below shows the plates after about 10 seconds. the white in the water is the gas from the reaction, so the power supply was working really well.


After about an hour I removed the clutch washer (as rusty as the securing nut, and it was in really good condition). The black marks indicate where the red oxidisation was.


The rings took about as long and came out well too. there is little pitting so the damage is cosmetic. The rear drive plate is too badly damaged. I will have to examine to ensure it is the same dimensions as all the others - there are quite a few sets available on the net in great condition.
