Issue with citric is what they call flash rust, but it is only really a problem with adhesion. Still, it looks like the zinc coating is not the best. You can try your luck, or use a POR kit or similar. Application method is to seal the tank, pour the stuff in and swish around inside. Never done it ...

Yeah, yeah. Picked up a steering box brace from the PO today. I’ve got to replace the drivers door trim backing card as the clips are all broken off. Anyway I need to take them off and fish oil inside the doors, and the sills, so I won’t have to be fixing rust and painting in future.

I have had bubbles via the glass gasket without noticeable fuel smell. Having said that, it is pretty obvious where they are coming from, and Elle seems to think I am immune to the smell of fumes.

Eddie is looking good at this distance Brendon. My only suggestion on the brakes is to see if you can drive them in to shape, possibly with the booster vacuum temporarily disconnected. HR brakes being self energising, and wider on the front are bound to be more efficient than FB EK.

The owner of the ute Mick, lives a few streets away. I was out in my ute and saw it drive past so followed it home. He has a restored sedan as well. Mick runs a mechanical workshop from home and is active in the 48-FJ club. The editor of their excellent quarterly magazine Rob Seidel, also lives ...

Thanks to Mitch for the photos. I think the weather would have been a big factor on the lower attendance, though it didn’t seem to put the Humpys off.
