Yep , I did some trailing arms using Bi carb soda , cant remember the amounts , but it worked well . you will have to move the sacrificial steel around to get "line of sight "on the pieces so it will take a while .
Kind of interesting to watch , as soon as you turn on the power ,lines of tiny bubbles come off the pieces , carrying all the corrosion .
Going out to the shed the next morning and the tub had a heavy rust scum on the surface .
I used Evaporust on my calipers and it worked great. A plus side is that Evaporust will not attack the rubber seals, so they do not have to be disassembled
When I started my restoration I used the electrolysis method for lots of parts. I have since moved on to sand blasting small parts in a bench top blaster and for larger parts I've been soaking parts in a commercial rust remover such as evaporust. The electrolysis method works good but it takes a day or two. You'll also need to change out the washing solution often and the sacrificial metal has to be ground down to expose more bare steel for it to work efficiently.
Another vote evaporust..strain reuse..i left mine bare after..
Reassembled
Great results !!! I'd use the stuff in a heartbeat.
But what you gotta understand; folks, is that over here we are operating at a handicap. No Evaporust to be found. I couldn't even find carbide tipped Lenox blades for a sawzall.
