Acf 50 ? Give me a clue mate looks mint

http://www.acf-50.co.uk/acf-50.htm

I use it on the bike Kev, degreaser and a lubricant and protector all in one. It was developed for Navy planes that are out in the elements at sea and the salt air. I've been using it for a few years on the bike, it coats all metal and stops rust and rot. I sprayed it all on there and let it creep onto all chassis parts too...it finds its own way with creeping and drives out moisture. .I even did electrical parts as it protects those too. It's really top stuff mate!

I just had a look at your link - would that stuff be any good for my corroded brake pipes? It would be much easier to apply than wire brushing and Hammerite.

Thanks.

It's supposed to stop rust spreading, but if I where you, I'd personally change them to braided pipes if they're already corroded..

Thanks.

To be fair they don't look bad enough to need replacing, but will do if I don't do something with them so it's probably my next job!

Finally got around to fitting the mobile phone holder...couldn't find anywhere appropriate on the dash to fit it without it looking unsightly so opted for the door by the speaker. I'm not bothered about charging my phone on the go so its find for just holding it.
