Shot Blasting....

Anyone have access to a shot blasting cabinet who could tidy up my
hugger/chainguard bracket from the VFR before I get it powder coated ?
(Got a local man who has powder coating facilities, but I don't appear
to know anyone with a shot blast cabinet !)
Beer tokens/vino etc available....

 

If your local bod doesn't have a shot blaster, then by the time the
part gets to them, it could be contaminated with grease / oil / dirt
etc, which will comprimise the final finish.

How big is the part / where are you located / how quickly do you need
it done? My dad has a blaster and small PC'ing set up (bakes in a
domestic oven...) so if all works out might be able to help out. He
could probably run it though the next tim ehe doess a batch of
blasting.

cheers

I have a cabinet, but only got some glass beads at the moment which
wouldn't be coarse enough for what you need. If you can get some sand[1]
you're welcome to come and use it.

[1] There's a place in Reading that supplies it IIRC but I can't find
them now.

 

Paint stripper and then go at them an A/G sporting a curly wire brush wheel.

Done by the time you've found someone who's got a cabinet.

Found somewhere in Stanford In The Vale, chap did it while I waited, charged
me the change in my pocket which was around £3.50, dropped it off with the
powder coating man who is doing some garden gates tomorrow - said he'll
stick em in with them, and then leave it in to do a hot coat which gives a
better finish - all for a fiver. Result.

I've got access to both sand and glass blasting gear.

Funnily enough, I've been using it today to clean up a set of VFR
downpipes / collector box, and both engine casings.

Much as I like VFRs, they do have a tendency to fur up quite badly in
some respects.

 

Don't forget the top of the fork stanchions.....

 

I'd say so!

Well done that man.
