Acid dipping service

(1/4) > >>

Greg65:
Does anyone know who does acid dipping for engines cases? Ideally in the West Midlands. Also what strength acid should be specified to remove the oil?

Thanks, Greg

MrDavo:
I found the pictures on that link of car bodies after they had come out of the acid bath fascinating, the place that Menno takes his tanks to in Germany sounds like that, he says they have VW camper van shells and the like hanging up to dry everywhere.

I recently saw a 1960's barn find Porsche 911 shell in a bodyshop, primed in red oxide after coming out of an acid bath, that was more a 911 shaped collection of holes joined together by metal lacework, however being one of the very first of its kind (stupidly low VIN number for that type, something like xxx0003, think on the same lines as a very early number sandcast CB750) it was proper weapons grade unicorn poo, so will always be worth £££, and therefore always worth fixing, however rotten. According to Porsche 70% of all 911s ever made are still on the road - not just still exist, but still in use! I'm guessing most of the rest were just crashed too damned hard into the scenery to save.

The other 30% are wrapped around a tree, surprised it's not the 70%. ;D
