So.....I dont't know how you call this profession, but I took omega to the shop, where they took measures for turret tops and will make them from 2mm thick bent and welded sheet metal. The owner - very old bloke, was surprisingly impressed by omega and othervise rust free body of it.
But, there's always a but....body shop which will replace turret tops is fully booked until the middle of January.

ive now got a urge to go and check around my rear shocks now !! 

[cam.in.head]

yes good idea.
i did mine a while back. just some surface rust and dealt with accordingly.
but that how it all starts !

anyway a bit cold for playing out today !

[polilara]

Have to check mine, too. Actually how cold you have if cold?

[danzigfan]

It was also only surface rust on mine when I restored it...

[cam.in.head]

getting the rust off is important. forthis or ANY repairs.
for years ive used rust killers and they only work to a degree but now recently been using the only permanent solution.
a mini sandblaster gun. why i never thought of it gears ago i dont know.bit fiddly and slow but does work 100%.
various other methods like gels and the like but sandblasting rusty areas works for me.
then obviously paint and protect it thoroughly(after repairing anything if found !)

Around -4 degrees, which is probably a summers day for you.

Ok, thanks -4 is really too cold for maintenance outside. Just checked that London had today around zero, didn't know that you can have such weathers. We had colder than -10  already in November here in west coast where I live. In Lappland they already have had more than -20. Summer in Finland is usually ok, not too hot, yes and no snow...
