Around the port we fi nd deep pitting. With a clean-‘n’-
strip disc affi xed to one of Harbor Freight’s Central Pneu-
matic die grinders, we’ll begin exploratory cleanup.
Believe it or not, this is after blasting with fresh 80-grit
glass beads. The steel we’ll attempt to repair is lookin’
pretty thin.With our rustiest section removed, this little
set of Harbor Freight fi les comes in handy. As
we can see, our steel is no longer 10 gauge in
this area.
