These are the rudder quadrants that the steering cable is routed thru.  They are aluminum and you can see they have some corrosion in the center.

 Not critical, but Duane wanted to clean the area and treat it to prevent further corrosion.

 

And a steel part that is also in need of attention.

 

 

I found the friendlist sand blast guy just a few miles away - Sammy's Sandblasting.   Took the parts to him and he made very quick work of the cleanup.

 

Isn't it satisfying to have something changed from yucky to pristine?

And the quadrants ready for treatment and reassembly.
