Default At least I have saved some stuff today...

...by managing to rescue a few shims for the rear axle that adjust the wheel bearing play =>



They have become a bit rusty so I soaked them in some Rustyco concentrate (similar to Evapo Rust as I have been lead to believe)



^^^^ Best to scrub the parts outside of the concentrate (here I'm using the kitchen sink - risking life and limb) - then put them back in for another soak



The rescue might not seem like much until you realise how expensive these shims are to replace
