jonnyfox Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 I may do the funnel but I may leave the uprights. I would have thought that would have been how they were originally finished with a zinc passivate. Anyway, once complete the car won't get the use it's had over the last 15 years.
Martin R Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Jon, they were finished with zinc passivate. I could not tell that from the pic. Its the reason they rust so quickly. A addition coating will help or never use it in the wet or Winter
jonnyfox Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 I suppose that's it really, I generally won't. There's nothing on the front Aluminium uprights either. How hot do you reckon they get?
KurtB Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Leave em silver Jonny. Mine are gold and clear coated. The front uprights are probably best left bare metal, they'll corrode sufficiently to protect themselves from large deterioration. Looking good btw.

jonnyfox Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 Actually I have to say the uprights look MINT! Looking forward to getting these on over the next few weeks! Let the drivshaft work commence.........
jonnyfox Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Hi q quick question, when cleaning the tub, you mention, tooth paste a dremel etc. Can you go in to more detail, I have tried the magic sponges and some very mild polish but some staining remains, toothpast may be the answer? Can you go through exactly how you cleaning it (step by step) Cheers Den This was recommended to me and it's excellent ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIBREGLASS-CARBON-FIBRE-ABRASIVE-CIRCUIT-BOARD-CLEANING-PEN-PENCIL-10-REFILLS-/270971223928?
jonnyfox Posted July 31, 2015 Author Posted July 31, 2015 Why can you never get the top back off POR paint once you've used it. Anyway I started to refurb the rear calipers.
Martin R Posted July 31, 2015 Posted July 31, 2015 Superb Jon. Put a freezer bag between the lid and tin next time
stockhome Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Hats off to you Jonny some fantastic work there.
Martin R Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Whilst you are there you may as well heat shield both inner toe links? I think only the N/S is done normally?
jonnyfox Posted August 1, 2015 Author Posted August 1, 2015 Yes will get them done to. Cheers Sheldon.
mambosasa Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 This car is going to need a glass box and a shelf once done. Loving it.
