Top of outriggers cleaning how ???

[wiggycerb]

Hi Guys,

It's that time of year and I want to spend some time cleaning up the chassis.

Has anyone got any tips for getting to the top of the outriggers to scrape off loose crud and flaking waxoyl?

I was thinking of a sort of cable that I could feed over and straddle the tubing and then pull it along the tubing this scrapping off the debris, or has anyone got pictures of something they have fabricated for the job ?

Cheers

How about some 40 grit emery cloth
On a roll about 25mm wide?

Loads on eBay about a fiver.

Also try

Dinitrol RC900

Also forget using waxoil, use dinitrol.

I restored a Crx five years ago, nut and bolt restoration, I welded on new 1/4 panels and repaired the inner arches, welded new metal where the sunroof is and used RC900 then dinitrol products.
Still good as new.

Due to the inaccessible nature of reaching the top of the tubes, you will need cavity type nozzles for the spray cans(which dinitrol do)

Initial clean, karacher do a jointed, small nozzle that's really good for getting water into tight places.
