So here's it in the tub (banished outside with a cover on due to the smell
)Image deleted by owner
Thought I'd post the progress my back plate is doing each day in the old vinegar tub to let you see how effective it is compared to the
electrolyse method. It goes rusty almost the second it's dry but it’s really a dusting of rust. I was originally going to get these grit blasted
and hot dip galvanized but decided against it due to the fragile skirt on this design and the close tolerances where the hub fits through. One
it's done being cleaned I'll spray it with zinga coating. One of the best things about this method compared to blasting is that it gets
in-between the sheet metal and removes the rust there also. I read some concerns as to vinegar removing good metal as well but to be honest it
isn't doing that at all, just the rust.

Electrolysis would have it looking brand new overnight and no nasty smell, unless you fart!
Cool 
I need to get my wishbones sorted and was going to get them powdercoated but i might use vinegar instead

4 more months and it will come out like a shiny 10 p piece, sizewise that is!
