cant you use a drill with a wire brush attatchment?... various sizes available, would be quicker than a dremel...... even a flap wheel for the flatter stuff

[K4KEV]

I have some real evil rotary wire brushes that fit angry grinders but they still don't rid metal of all the rust the way a grindstone does, some times they just "polish" the rust so it looks like its removed but then you chip it with a hammer or screwdriver and underneath it can still be rusty......they do work well on corroded ally tho.

Daft thought Kev,your marks will be no good for the vernier pulleys when you put it back together.

[K4KEV]

aaahhhhhhaaaaa but I will be transferring the marks before I swap them over
got the other half de rusted will be getting a coat of engine enamel then lacquer soon.

Kev, just imagine you could get paid for every hour your putting into this, even at minimum wage you'd be laughing

I enjoy seeing your progress pics, that's a proper labour of love, cant wait to see it all finished one day.

Teeth are ok Bob but I had a helluva tash.....Magnum PI would have be jealous as hell...should have been wearing a mask.
with the sump off I made a few measurements and off came the bottom and I hope to weld it back up tomorrow with a added collar to retrieve some capacity
here is the first cut on the sump


here are the parts to make up the collar to retrieve capacity

If there`s no starter in the way Kev a winged sump is a good way of grabbing some capacity back
