S1 Rear Hub Removal

[djzcarr]

Had mine shot blasted and powered coat this year with no issue! Just fitted them back on the car with no drama.

It is less damaging and doesn't fill it with sand! However you MUST get it properly dried and be ready to paint the next day. Best to get a precise time to book in and get it back. Don't just deliver it or it may have to wait outside.

If I did go down that route I’d POR15 treat and then paint with POR 15 top coat.

Anyone know what the drum backing plate on a S1 is from.

The rear drum brakes on all S's (with drum brakes) are from a Ford Sierra. Go for 1.8 or 2.0 litre. The 1.6 (was there a 1.3?) had smaller brakes and some top range/performance models had disc brakes.

Thanks. I thought they’d be a a common item but seemingly not, will have another look now I know what it is actually looking for.

Thanks. Wasn’t sure if shotblast would be too harsh, I’ll throw them in when the chassis gets sent then.

I shot blasted mine myself. It worked fine without any problems.

Good find, they look worse than the ones I have though. Considering how many Sierras were produced I expected the part to be readily available. Shotblast and paint looks to be the answer. Many thanks.

Shot blasted in a DIY bench top cabinet, primed and brush painted.



Not a problem but would have thought you had bigger fish to fry before you start to worry about the niggly bits.
At least now you have it all in bits the enjoyable part of the job begins, making good and putting back.

Keep up the good work,
Carl.

Oh yes, plenty to do. Just trying to empty some of the boxes of parts.

BBQ time. Anyone for a drum. Heating to set the paint to max hardness.



Lots of smoke and crackling,
