Doing some brake work and put the grab handles on (SS with SS nuts and bolts) I have to move the line to the back of the plate I put it between the axle by mistake!

Not sure I like the idea of brake pipe being secured to the axle by a jubilee clip, unless it's an illusion.

It won't take long to chafe through if that's metal on metal.
 
The whole thing moves up and down, it's solid I see what you mean about chafing, but it's tight and no movement as all, it's stainless steel, so it's not going to rust, and it was like this originally
 
Nice progress.:)
You could have put a lick of paint on the engine though ;) .

Do you leave it on your drive like in the pics?
Cos that's getting to becoming worthy of nickable value:(.

It's blocked in when I have done for the day with a car on the drive sideways.... I am going to paint is when the sun come out, it's been raining today so no painting (going to do it Duck egg blue)
 
Did the fan with this stuff, seems to have worked out OK, but I will paint it also, apparently it also works as a primer, look at the engine photo to see what it was like before (Orange rust)

All of these rust convertors contain Tannic Acid and an organic polymer which coverts Iron Oxide to Iron Tannate and then dries to help seal it. The polymers contain carbon and leaves a mildly porous surface so you need to paint over/seal it or the steel will start oxidising again after a while.

I like the Dinitrol RC900 as it has an epoxy based polymer and a high Ethanol content that enhances the flow of the solution into porous corrosion layers and then sets quite hard.
