I'm wanting to sand down the rust areas inside the engine (circled in RED) and respray the areas. . . problem is, what color of paint matches? the paint is dull unlike the 02C on the exterior.
Also, and probably asked MANY times before, What are the bolt sizes (marked in Yellow) , does someone have a diagram of them all? I've searched and searched. (ICP have bolts but buying them individually mounts up on the till).
i had my engine bay sprayed and under the bonnet o2c to match the outside. Then i had all the bolts zinc plated.Have a read of my old project to get a few ideas.

Dave, I checked your post but the 'hosting site' no longer has the photos. Would you mind posting some?

If the site it PhotoBucket - there is a fix ( for Chrome or Firefox)
Pinched this explanation from another site...
"....Its from Google and is free.
If you're using Google Chrome, go to the three dots on the top right corner of the screen and click them. A drop down should appear. Hover your mouse over "More Tools," and when the next drop down appears, click on "extensions". Go to the link towards the bottom that says "Get more extensions." In the search box, type "Photobucket Fix," and hit enter. I installed "Photobucket Hotlink Fix" from the top of the list, but there are others. Click the install button and once it's done, you should be able to see photobucket pictures again.
For FireFox users, click on the three bars on the right side of the screen, then click on add ons. Click search for "photobucket hotlink" and click install. Same result....."

Doesn't work for me using Firefox 70.0 - still the same
What would I need to remove the paint/rust from the upper radiator brackets??
Some sort of acid I guess. . but what works best?
Another approach worth considering is by electrolysis. You need a sacrificial piece of steel (a bit of sheet is ideal) for the anode (which the rust gets attracted to), and your rusty item as the (cathode). Place each item in a tub and water and mix in some soda crystals. Connect your sacrificial metal to a car battery charger positive connector, and your rusty item to the negative. Plug in the charger and wait for a few hours; you'll see some bubbling in the water. The process will flake away the rust and leave a black residue that's easily rubbed off. The advantages of this method is that you just end up with rusty soapy water which is easier to handle and dispose of, it is cheap, and the process doesn't remove good metal.

Ain't the internet wonderful -- If I click one of the links I get a banner at the bottom of the page saying "do you want to open or save *****File name**** from Scoobynet"
If I click 'open' I get nothing …. !!
