Hi, I have a question about treating the inside of the longs. I have some rust issues in the back of the long—jack point areas. I am cutting out and replacing the weak areas.

The area to the front of the jack point has some surface rust, but the metal is solid so I do not want to cut further forward. I am also going to put Brad Mayeurs kit over it all, so I am not worried about strength, I do however want to convert/seal the inside of the long going forward, before I install the kit to prevent further degredation.

What is the best/easiest way to do this? I was looking at the Eastwood green aerosol frame stuff, the converter/sealer that has the hose, or maybe Ospho, but I am trying to not damage the heater hoses in there and still get decent coverage. I don't know how to get the aerosol hose up into the long

Any suggestions? Can the heater hoses be pulled out and replaced without cutting the inner rocker completely out? What are they made of anyway?

Thanks for any suggestions

-Andrew
