I decided to remove the old fairings the old struts that I have 

replaced. I won't use them over but thought it might be worth hanging 

onto them for a bit. Under the polyfiber covering I found heavily sanded 

bright metal where the primer came off with the polyfiber and smotth 

primer in the areaa where it didn't.  The wood looks like nice straight 

grained pine and still smells like freshly cut, very dry and light. In 

the area downstrut from the jury strut mounts where weather or 

condensate has been able to gather for about two feet there is very 

heavy and scaly rust I took a wire brush to to it and then cut it in 

several sections in this area and I don't think it represents anything 

that would fail, yet. I just figured I'd mention it as a potential area 

of concern. these are Denney/Skystar struts from 1991. The inside is 

still dull grey and appears to have an oil coating.
