Berryman's Carb and Throttle Body cleaner will strip the silicone off cleanly with ease.... and without damaging the rust blue or anything made of steel or alloy metal/solder etc.

Then send it to Mike Bonehill in Indiana to have the rib relayed....quality work and usually about $100.00 bucks or so....317-373-0599.....

Good Luck with it.........
