Sand blasting will be too harsh surely? Had you considered bead blasting? Theres a fellow who bead blasts on the small industrial estate behind 'Netto' at the Mushroom Roundabout in Rotherham. Someone a little more local may know him. Ive had many sets of Porsche allows bead blasted by him (the last set was a few years ago now) and he was spot on; and about £20 for four too!

Neither are appropriate really; but at least bead/shot blasting wont pit the metal as sand blasting will. The most suitable method for cleaning a corroded monocoque is to blast it with crushed walnut shells, but you wont find anyone doing that in Leeds....

David, there is a place in Halifax that does bead blasting, not sure of the name but its on the Dean Clough Industrial Park, there was also a place in Denholme between Halifax & Keighley.
