    34 clamshell cover has 4 nuts & a thru bolt ?

    I agree most logical would be upper left . As mentioned , some one must have rotated it unknowingly . Either way , to get a good ground there are many other more handy & cheaper places than inside that cover from a user & mfg cost effective standpoint .

    derusting

    Yes , muriatic acid used straight on is vicious ! For soaking parts I use approx a 10 /1 mixture w/ frequent checking & possibly some wire brushing . Be careful w/ thin material like auto window frames .
