unfortunately,that will happen whilst its outside being built.
try libraley coating with wd40 to keep the moisture from any bare metal component

A pint for the gent and a white wine/fruit based drink for the lady. Those are the rules

A lick of Smoothrite will stop the rust getting any worse 
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

My way of dealing with this:
Waxoyl saturated rag wiped over parts if you don't intend to paint the part... It will polish with a clean ish rag once "set" if you
don't like waxoyled look...

Must be salty air in Cheshire I guess.

I stumbled upon this stuff which doesnt leave a nasty oily coating on everything and I can highly reccommend it!
Works really well for giving things a nice shine and keeping out the water and surface rust - not on your braking surfaces though since its PTFE
based.

Fact of life bare metal will rust or corrode.
As soon as it goes outside whether being built or driven it'll rust.
I would have painted them before fitting.
Lack of will power has caused more failure than lack of intelligence or ability.
There's hope yet then !

I agree with the above, as i work maily in stainless steel, we do however work in other materials such as mild steel, if the jobs not ready to start
asap then i get one of the muppetts here to paint them in a primer so as there is no surface rust, thus stopping the surface to become rusty.
When building my car, once the parts were stripped off the sierra, they were cleaned up then primed up and left until needed.

Everything else is painted (just about.) As you can see, I painted the prop adapter as I know how easily these go. I didn't expect the yam
bits to be mild!

The output shaft from the motor isn't mild steel !
