Hi Mick,
yes - but I've just about worn out this old thread....

you could give it the POR 15 treatment - brake fluid will do nothing to hurt this stuff and it will stick really well to any rust inside - make sure you use the Marine Clean prior - it should get anything the POR doesn't want to stick to....

just my thoughts...

frats,
Rosco

Maybe a dip in a molasses bath, then use Rosco's tip. Should make them like new.
