Oh yes, photos do make rust look pretty horrific, I forgot about that 😀 If you think they are salvageble, a good soak in diesel and a scrub with a brush will be fine. Don't wash the diesel off after cleaning as it will leave a nice film of oil as protection. Then just bag up.

Always worth trying to save parts. You will know if they are beyond saving if you see any obvious damage or pitting in the metal after cleaning.
Trigger:
The problem with any rust removal is, that the part becomes unbalanced ;)
