Yeah i think the clingwrap way is the go as well....will get onto it asap....probably should leave the rusted metal at the bottom and try and clean it up with it still on do you think??

Paul,

I had a mate restoring a mint Evel Knievel pin and had the same issue with the rusted metal strip. He attempted to take it off and in the process the backglass split in 2. So is it worth the risk?
