I've been using Hammerite rust remover gel a few years now. I'm wondering if more can be expected from this sort of stuff but it makes expensive territory to experiment on.  Has anyone something out there that they are sure is better, without going into the sort of things you need a space suit or something to use?

I want to remove the Speedometer resetting knob if that is what one calls the thing you put your days mileage back to 0000 as I'm soon to paint the casing. However it won't just pull off, or at least I haven't managed to. Is it supposed to do that, I don't want to end up spraying the thing and it's grommet as well.

Now I've extracted the headlight and meter brackets from their tenacious locations I'm stripping the clearly non standard thick gloss paint off them as well as the rust I've found. Can anyone tell me if this should be replaced with satin or matt black, should that be lacquered after? I really want to get this right!

I've been told the need to do this might be why my brakes are squealing again days after doing a copper grease treatment. I've certainly heard of this but google isn't bringing up the answers I need and nor has the search on here. Can someone gently explain how I should go about this and try not to laugh? 

Is there a definite procedure for fitting the spindle clamps on that matters, I'm sure I saw something like this recently. I'm about to put a new second hand speedo snail on    major technological challenge!

I think perhaps his father was a mechanic? 

What to think? I got this answer to a question of mine EV verses ICE of Quora ..

Yes, BEVs have been around for over 120 years, technology or innovation has squashed the resurgence of BEVs in the past so there is no reason why a better technology, such as hydrogen, could not eliminate these again. But their future failure will have nothing to do with their weight, the failure will be because having millions of batteries in our world will make people realize that the mining, building and disposing of these chemical and toxic concoctions make BEVs no better for the environment than fossil-fuelled cars.
Battery power is a fad, a selfish choice for the BEV converts, there is no benefit to the environment to have battery-powered cars as these pollute almost as much as petrol cars, all they do is shift the pollution elsewhere, in addition to being a polluting chemical concoction, batteries are also toxic, inefficient and heavy. There is no efficiency in propelling a 2,000kg car nor is it an efficient use of energy when battery power wastes up to 40% of the input energy, in fact, battery power is not a solution to anything at all. Ironically the BEV fad might create the need to build nuclear power stations, if this happens, it will hasten the end of the BEV fad because nuclear stations can be the source of endless green hydrogen to power H2 ICE vehicles. The heat generated by a reactor can make hydrogen before the same heat is used to make electricity. Thermochemical water-splitting processes use high-temperature (500°–2,000°C) to drive a series of chemical reactions that produce hydrogen. The chemicals used in the process are reused creating a closed loop that consumes only water, and produces no pollutants while producing unlimited green hydrogen and oxygen.
Large Battery Electric Vehicles as a replacement of fossil fuels vehicles are the Worst Transportation System ever developed, responsible for causing excess Man-Made Destruction (such as forests in Germany, wilderness in Alaska) and Pollution on Planet Earth…. up-front polluting and water wasting to mine & manufacture, they create a fire danger in your home, are polluting & dangerous to charge, polluting, dangerous & Toxic to dispose of, then, energy-wasting in charging, energy-hungry to propel its 2,000Kg weight and enslave the driver to its charging schedules on top of everything. If the world is serious about reducing pollution and stemming global warming then it should not substitute fossil-fuel burning for batteries that are not much better.

I put a Turkey in the freezer this afternoon 🦃
