Wim said: "The pressure bars and screws are rusty and corroded, and because the rust and corrosion was caused by salt air, they can't be cleaned." Wim, I don't understand why they "..can't be cleaned"? Over the years, I've had to make some pretty nasty metal look presentable. There are several ways to do this. 1. Replate. (I suspect that there is no such thing as a metal plater on the Islands?) 2. Wire brush all the nasty stuff off and buff to a high polish. At that point, you have the option of Bluing or simply spraying with lacquer. There ya have it. What ever you do, it'll certainly look better than rust and crud, imo. BTW, if you coat the screws with clear polyester they will be less susceptable to corrosion than any other coating I've found. Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain of the Tool Police Squares R I
