    Hi everyone.

    Doing a rebuild at the moment and put the frame upside down to clean the underside of the frame and rusty coloured water came out. It is from the frame rails the plastic guard screws onto behind the TCI tray. Anyone had this problem and what is the best way to fix it. Going to heat the frame with a blowtorch to dry it out.
