For something that size, I would just use a motorized wire brush and knock it out quickly. Brass or light steel brush for part without much rust...heavier steel brush for rusty parts. Wash, dry, clearcoat...done.

I've been using my HF rock tumbler to clean small parts for years. beware though, the belt on mine recently broke right in the middle of a project. Finally found a spare on ebay for about $5. Check yours for cracking and replace if needed.

Just picked up my tumbler at HF.
I had a 20% off coupon so I bought there double canister model for $48.
Seeing as I am doing a full frame off, I forsee many pieces getting this treatment.
Great suggestions here. Txs to all and especially the maestro....
