Works part washer Ash or your own?

Looks like the one we had at Queenies and TBH I'd like to find one for myself as I intend to built myself a self contained workshop with parts washer and bead blaster incorporated.

Does it sit on a 56 gallon drum? and who's make is it. Just so I can see if the spec is suitable for my needs. Might be AC instead of DC for instance.

Will get a better pic Ken  .. its 240v AC and at work. We have 2 .... one that's used for mucky stuff .... one for cleaner stuff . I thinks its on hire/lease they come every month with the smelly stuff. We do have an aqueous one too  but it's for nuclear jobs so I cant use it ... just use Cathy's dishwasher instead when she's out  ;D  that's between you and me BTW Julie when you meet her !

Hi ash
Do you know what solution they use in it...
I got given a parts washer but never really knew what to put through it...
I plumped for kerosene in the end as I drained it out of a tank that was no longer required on a job we were on..so it was free....works ok but leaves it oily after so always needs a blast off with brake / clutch cleaner afterwards to remove residue

Will find out but it bloody reeks and you stink of it for ages afterwards. I was told it was kerosene but never actually checked.

Parts wash years ago use to be Safetykleen, and it used Jizer. These days they used some water base cleaner that is shite. Kerosene is OK for internal parts but, a nightmare on cases.

Going to hot tank them in my ultrasonic cleaner anyway at max temperature .. That way they will be squeaky clean to take new paint Parts washer was to get the main crud off.

Doesn't remove paint or varnish but it removed any oily contaminants left from the parts washer. We used to have Safety Kleen at work  but pretty sure it was paraffin or some brew other than Jizer. As Jizer emulsifiers when wet. Yea good stuff Jizer and Gunk but not sure if it's still sold in the same formulation as yonks  ago.

Been busy prepping BZP parts for 5 of my resto bikes. 1st batch ready to pick up from Allenchrome in Pocklington. Taking the second batch on Thursday. Nice guys to deal with.

Cleaned up the frame firstly with water and detergent. then into the degreaser then rinsed and dried. I was going to then apply paint stripper but undecided as there is little corrosion. I experimented with the bead blaster by fitting the rear part in and then 'sealing' the door area with blankets. Not ideal but I can probably come up with a  suitable framework/covering. Anyway I managed to selectively bead blast the rear top shock mount and seat hinges.  Silvers tell me that on their 400/4 restos, where the paint is pretty good, they leave the good areas  and spray on top. I don't want to powder coat this bike but I have nothing against it really (My 750K0 is powder coated).  Any ideas on the best way to proceed? Do I strip the whole lot or do what DS do?

Pics of the degreaser for Oddjob and compressor that feeds the bead blaster.

Menno tells me that my paint may will be ready next week.

Got my set of pattern pipes from DS and on first inspection they look really nice (see separate posting with pics & fitting instructions).

I started honing my bores but decided I will take them to my mate who has a lot more experience than me.

More pics.

When I got the DS pipes I spotted he had kickstart gears NOS for £10 so I bought one.

Compair compressor feeds the bead-blaster at work.

 The de-burring station is a bench grinder with two grades of Scotchbrite wheels ...great for cleaning parts.

Spent ages cleaning up parts for replating on my 5 'Project' bikesover the last two months. Took 2nd batch for BZP today and picked up the first batch ... cost £50 and probably one of the best fifty quids worth I have spent on my bikes. 

Dropped off 3 rims (F&R CB500K0 and one CB250 rear)  at a new chrome platers I have found on the outskirts of  Leeds. BZP was done by AllenChrome in Pocklington, just outside of York ...bloody nice people to deal with  :). The guy there is chrome plating smaller parts  for me (kickstart gear lever, exhaust clamps etc. etc.) that I have had stripped in a chrome bath and polished myself, so we will see how that pans out. Going to take him loads more chroming to do over the next few weeks

The top photo is the 50 quids worth batch that was Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) NOT chrome (nipples and contact breaker plates were gold passivated and the rest were clear passivated).. The bottom set in tubs etc. are what I have there for plating, at the moment. I stripped all of the zinc and prepped them myself though with my magic brew , caustic Soda , EDTA , trietholamene (all available off eBay) @ 70°C in a slow cooker (Don't worry it's safe to eat at my place again as I bought the missus a new one ... which like the old one has never been used   ;D ;D)

That's what I was thinking Pete as that's what DS do I think on their 400/4's. May selectively bead blast small areas of rust.

Whilst my wife is in 'Play' mode ... if she's writing plays/arranging their performance I can do what the hell I like as she goes into a luvvie trance  :) Also it was taking Bitsa's caustic advice .. get on with yer fr*ggin bikes mate and stop waffling  ;D
