I have a 2005 JCW that I’m doing the Valeo solid flywheel conversion.
Issue is, I’ve been moving around a lot the last 2 years, so the parts have been in storage and gotten quite rusty. I’m curious if this is still usable / salvageable.
It should clean up fairly nicely. Use some vinegar/baking soda and a scotch scotchbrite pad to clean the surface rust off.
When if you didnt clean the surface rust off, where the rust is located isnt where the disc makes contact so it wouldnt cause any issues.
