Wet blasted casings

Laverda Dave:
 :o £2k to fill the tank with acid! Maybe I could try a washing up bowl full of coke!!
Back in the day when I worked in a train overhaul works I had access to that sort of cleaning kit, and blasters, stove enamelling, zinc and chrome plating, not anymore, those days have well and truly passed  :(

Clem2112:
Yes... back in the late 70s I could get chrome, polishing, welding, enamelling done at a well known aero engine maker!
 My 400/4 was nearly up to aircraft standard ..... Nickel plated the swing arm and centre stand then painted over when the novelty wore off.

Did you work at Wolverton works ?

Laverda Dave:
No Trigger, not Wolverton,  it was in London.

BrianC500:
If ever a decision was regretted it was not being there to double check what media was being used to blast the engine with.
