Just curious how you got all of those nuts behind the baffles onto the sides of those baffles and at the top where the rust generally is located? That has been what I have seen when guys try to use this procedure is the center section always looks really clean yet the rust still is in the outer areas because the stones/gravel/BBs/nuts could not get behind the baffles.
