A Spare Crown Wheel & Pinion for the Spares Cupboard

Just before Christmas I purchased a crown wheel and pinion as a spare for the Red Chev. Arriving today I was more than pleased with the item. Once I removed a bit of surface rust and soaked in Rust Buster for about 2 hours, it now has that beautiful gun metal blue coating that will protect it for another 80 years, or until I need it.

Step 1. The untreated part (still with the lead seal attached)




Step 2. A quick once over with the wire brush


Step 3. A two hour soak in Rust Buster


Step 4. Ready to put the seal back on and the part into storage for a rainy day
