If it will fit, I fancy having it protected. Do I just apply waxyol straight on to it?

Yes it will fit as to waxoyl I would use Dinitrol cavity wax for the inside and Dinitrol surface for the exposed surface. Dinitrol has the advantage over waxoyl or paint that it will penetrate any rust that is there that you can’t see. Though it will cost you about three times that of waxoyl which is a good budget all around wax that can be used as surface wax or cavity wax. Paint is all good and well but the surface has to be oxide free otherwise it just traps the rust under it. Sadly due to health and safety and environmental rules there is no longer a great rust converter paint. Hammerite was back in the days of chlorinated rubber based paints was fantastic cheep and a great protector. Now it’s just an average surface paint.
