Hi all,

firstly a big shout out of THANKS to all of you for all the invaluable info provided on this forum.........

my question is with regards to the reference numbers between lugs. I have a 1971 Red Sub with a wee bit of rust spots/ battle scars.

Is there anything I could do to preserve/ restore this part of the case ??

any help would be appreciated !!!!

Yes, I believe Bob would apply a special solution to stop the corrosion. He can service it at the same time, as he is one of the best.

Not even. Let Bob do his magic. He has the trust of the vintage community.
