[DML] Re: Repairing peeling frame epoxy

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Clean it up good with solvent (laquer thinner/acetone). Remove any 
loose epoxy, sand/grind off any rust. Paint with POR15 (best) or 
Rustoleum (distant second best). This is actually a fairly rust-
immune part of the frame because about 90% of the cars leak oil all 
over it. The fact that the epoxy has come of just shows that at some 
point in the past the clutch slave leaked, since this is where it 
drips and it does a good job of softening the epoxy.
