Hi John, don't even get me started on galvanizing! My time budget cannot
afford that right now!
I know this question has been flogged to death, but how does one get a
bulkhead galvanized without having it distort? I vaguely remeber someone
saying to search for an outfit that would pre heat/soak the item before
dipping? Or do you just wrench it into place and bolt 'er in.
And, I know that paint thread was just up and I ignored it completely. I
gathered the upshot was that you have to remove the outer protective layer
of whatever before painting.
I had another look last night, and it seems that I can probably get away
with keeping the bulk of the wiring in place, just bundle it out of the way,
detach the brakes and clutch, unbolt the firewall and deal with the rust and
put it back in place. I have plans, however, to ensure minimize future
water pooling between the top of the footwell/splash guard, and to keep
gravel from spitting up and removing the paint on the lower footwell.
And, was looking at chainsaw bar oil and amongst its ingredients are "tack
additive" and "anti corrosion additive" so I think that may be my cheap
bugger solution for spraying into the box sections afterwards.
As far as spraying goes, has anyone had success using a garden sprayer, or
is it just better to bite the bullet and get a compressed air wand style?
Eastwood has those for about 35 bucks last time I looked....
