The bristle blaster. We have one at work for prepping pipes before deploying probes, savage things! I would not be using them here.
They leave marks that look just like pitting!
Small flap disc or drill wire brush will be perfect for removing the rust here
My shifter is coming along now. Going to re-assemble with red rubber grease on everything then get it fitted. Hopefully it's stiffened up slightly too but time will tell.

Took a trip to the Lake District and used it as an opportunity to take some photos as the scenery was ace. Also had a play at editing them more on photoshop, still getting the hang of it and what order to do things in! Hope to eventually get a proper DSLR as these were just taken on my phone. (I...
