Where do you get the industrial paint stripper? All info says this is hard to get?
There is a local place 3mins from here that will do acid dip and vapour blasting, so will hit them up for a quote.
The transmy countershaft has some corrosion, and it has a seal that isn't listed separately in the manual. Assume this is cleaned up and left as is generally?

I’d go for Synstryp….it’s very effective.

Some e-bay sellers want proof of industrial use etc. If you have a decent Automotive paint wholesaler nearby just turn up in your overalls. It is nasty stuff so you must take appropriate safety measures.

Regarding your rusty output shaft end - I soaked my end bit in Evaporust. Sounds like Snake Oil but it works without eating onto the steel as it works by breaking the bond between good steel & the rust + iron oxide. I then dipped the clean part in gun blueing to passivate it.

I did not notice the parts book, only the user/owners manual.
I've been using CSMNL for parts lists, but the books look to be much better source.

Have some evaporust so will give this a go. Not done gun gun blueing before though, will do a bit of reading.
