How do I protect stacked steel components?

My Allis B has rear fenders that mount as part of a stack of many different steel parts. Of course the fender is the thinnest of the parts so it has rusted real bad.

There is no cosmetic concern there but what is the best way to prevent rust from forming again in this area? I would hate to rework fender and repaint then have rust tracking down from this joint right away.

I am sure most tractors have many areas like this. Just wondered if there is a good way to apply protection as I go.

Thanks again for any help.

the way we always did that in the autobody shop was to prime and paint any place that was on the inside, or under something bolted on. Some small parts had to be attached when installing a new fender or door! When it was dry, we'd then install the fender or door, then when all was done, resand any paint showing on the primer, and sand the primer, then paint all at one time. We never installed a new fender or door without doing the above, because moisture always seeps under any part bolted over bare metal! Those tractor mfgrs probably never worried too much about it, because they knew the machine would be sitting out in the rain and snow, absorbing moisture, any way!
