inazone Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Had a go at this today. Had a little brain wave on using my rather large vice to straighten the sills. Considering the sills were flat front and back I don't think it's turned out too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inazone Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 As you can see my sills need to stripped back and treated. Would someone confirm what the next steps are? As I have read this thread and the other one floating about, but not certain whether the galfroid can go straight on to the metal once I have scurfed it back with a wire brush and drill.

Chris Wilson Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Galvafroid paint is designed to go on bare steel. Good work with the vice, that is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris, I had the vice lying around and thought I would give it a go. It worked well. Do you agree with Jellybean. Is that the correct steps? Or would you do it differently?

Big Mark Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Can I ask why you chose DINITROL 447 RUBBER BASED BLACK STONE CHIP over the DINITROL 4941 UNDERBODY WAX? Was it just personal preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Oh ok. Thanks for the info. I'm doing all the work on my sills myself but just thought if I could get those box sections pre-made it's be handy. I have no idea what is in the Dinitrol 4941, so maybe the 447 is the safer bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 If it's any interest to anyone I took photos of my roll cage being assembled and they show how the air jack tubes were added. http://www.chriswilson.tv/skyline_cage/skyline_cage.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I could probably get some made locally but it won't hurt to get a price please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 So €300 delivered? I wonder if there would be enough interest for a Group Buy on these and would it help bring the cost down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
