Chassis Refurb

[Jon12345]

So it begins

[Jon12345]

Yeah it's going to be an eye opener, I have been collecting parts for the last 6 months. If there is anyone up north who has any spare time on their hands to help a fellow yorkshire man out, the doors open with the kettle on

Boatbuoy how did you treat the chassis, I have been reading many topics on por15 vs 121epoxy vs powdercoating, can't make my mind up which is the most durable and lasting finish

Hello and welcome

Where in South Yorkshire are you?
I'm in Doncaster, there's loads of spanner holding Cerb owners in Yorkshire!

POR15 is not designed as a clean metal finish, the name is from Paint On Rust. Regardless whether you go for an epoxy or powder coat finish, I strongly recommend you investigate zinc metal plasma spraying to protect the metal under it. It has all the advantages of hot dip galvanising without as much added weight or the risk of heat distorting the chassis. I had mine treated with this before powder coating along with all the suspension arms and brackets. I also had as test plate plasma sprayed (without powder coat) which has been hung outside for nearly 3 years now and still has no sign of rust what so ever.

Thanks, I have read about this before, where did you have you done and did it cost the earth?

Got the stripping underway today, found some suprises already. The air box connections have been repaired previously and have been crushed due to over tighting. Also there is a drilled hole on one of the air boxes any ideas what's it for?

Thanks gazaab, where does the other end of the pipe connect? The was clearly nothing connected to the air box when I removed it

[Jonbouy]

looks like good progress Olly, and also a cool workshop. Looking for hot zinc sprayers in south yorkshire

[Jonbouy]

Thanks superteg, will check them out

What's up with Andrew Lloyd Webber, I didn't realise that there was loads of cerb owners in donny? Where are all the Cerbs hiding?

I use them for work.

Tried ringing and emailing these guys today, no dial tone looks like they aren't there anymore?

[Jonbouy]

Sounds like a plan, won't be coming in mine, it will still be on bricks then

[Jonbouy]

Cheers Gazzab, I will have a look into this and let everyone know the outcome

[Jonbouy]

Most of the auxiliarys stripped ready for the engine removal. Just bought a new hoist for the job, planning on removing the engine and box next are there any cerb experts about next week to oversee things?

[Jonbouy]

Update, the engine is now out and body off.
