Also I've been trying to remove some surface rust from my arches with emery cloth and one of these http://images.orgill...200/7088024.jpg
but I'm just not managing to get it all off no matter how hard I scrub. So any help will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe its just my eyes.
If it isnt, just get a hoover and hoover them out!
Then give it a splash of waxoyl/ similar before you put the inner sill back on.

In honesty I would not worry about that at all.
It is only surfact rust and shouldnt turn into a problem, especially if you clean it out and get some rust preventative in there!

Polycarbide abrasive wheel or disc. Made of nylon cord with polyurethane coating impregnated with silicon carbide. Takes back to bright metal without damaging the metal. Bit expensive for large areas though (they wear out quite fast).I've been trying to remove some surface rust from my arches

Off the top of my head, one of those small long-handled rollers for painting behind domestic radiators?(Phosphoric acid of some sort, painted in as best I can,

Yep you sure can, pretty good aswell..You can get small sand/media blasters that you hook up to an airline, can you not? One of these might work. Other than that I was thinking a wire brush secured to a stick and get scrubbing, then etch prime and paint the inside followed by waxoyl.
