Chassis refurbishment....

Part 2, some time later........

The previously grubby and corroding internal sections have are cleaned, the corrosion flatted back to clean aluminium and all the internal sections are treated to a generous coating of wax. This picture shows the now clean "grot trap". Although this is not going to permanently stop the bi-metallic corrosion between the steel and aluminium, it'll certainly slow it down.

 

 

 

 

 

Internal steel cavities such as the inertia reel seat belt enclosures have also had a substantial coating of wax.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Messy but protected!
