How best to sand down, A circular wire brush attachment in a drill, or a conventional belt or sheet sander?

Also can I do the tow bar arrangement also?

I have never attempted any bodywork repairs so this is new to me

Having just done my hockey arms I'd say wire wheel in either brush or grinder. Grinder will be faster for large areas. Ed

I've found the abrasive bristle brushes really effective at removing rust whilst leaving an even finish.

Finally got round to cleaning up my angry member before the weather turns.......Buzzweld RCP and CIO, Not too bad a finish, I sanded it down to silver metal.... 2008 TDCi 2.4 XS CSW

Great minds! I did mine yesterday for the same reason. I used Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black, which seems to be a bit darker than Buzzweld

Looks good

After replacing the mud flap mounts with new ones, it seems to emphasise the buzzweld black as not quite black, is that normal, is the CIO a final coat, or is it meant to be over sprayed with a 'black' black ?

Are the mudflap mounts Genuine?

They look very shiny. Probably dull and corrode soon anyway.
From new they never matched the crossmembers.
We all need to remember that is a chassis crossmember and not a body panel when discussing finish.

How many aerosol cans of RCP and CIO do you need for the rear crossmember and how many aerosol cans of Dinitrol3125 for the inside of it?

Thanks
