Yes I am dealing with rust. That part of the chassis seems to be particularly vulnerable. Have discovered that you just pull the rubber part off to reveal the bolt that holds in the cup. Not tied to remove the bolt yet though. It won't give up easily as I used a small mirror to look behind at the captive nut / threads of the bolt. Look like they've been under the sea for 100 years!!!
Anyway, will update as I go. Have already scraped the worst of the rust off the chassis in that area. Access is so poor that a small sharpened chissel seemed like the best bet to deal with it, along with some sharp hammer blows. Still looking pretty bad so it's about to get a load of deox gel slapped on it!
