Works great I do it on everything. The only problem I see is the whole box needs to be covered or acid can still find its way to the paint and work its way under the liner. The texture won't be right but you can still paint over it so it will be yellow. Might take a few coats. I have a truck that I coated the inner fenders and battery tray with the stuff. Even after a leaking battery sit in it till it drained dry all I had to do was pour some baking soda mixed in water over it (neuralize the acid) and hose it off. Everything still looks like the day I put it together and that was 3 years ago. |
Looking good...
From a 'been there, done that' perspective, I would pull the steering column and leave it out until you get the dash on and assembled and the grommet in there. It will be next to impossible to install the grommet with the column already in place. |
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. :beerchug:
Yes, I like chainsaws a bunch. Building and porting them. Here are a couple more pics of today's work. Here is the seat bracket/tool box. I blasted it and coated it with the bed liner spray. Then I used semi gloss black paint over it to match the foot rests. I made a stainless seat hinge pin also. I used brass bolts to secure the bracket. All the rest of the bolts on the tractor that are not painted are stainless. http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/IMG_3975.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/IMG_3976.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/IMG_3977.jpg |

Be sure you are using the proper grade bolts when you a reassembling your 124.Stainless is not as good where strength is needed in a fastener.
Nice job on the paint. |
Thanks, I'm using grade 8 where it needs strength and stainless for the light areas.
|
Grade 5 is what you need basically everywhere...engine head bolts are grade 8, and there are only a few non-structural or lightly-loaded things fastened with grade 2 bolts, like the voltage regulator.

You do good work, and you do it hard and fast. Somehow, I never have seen this thread. I really like your applications of bedliner. Especially on the seat plates. Got a Question: Why did you use brass bolts there?
|
Nice job! :beerchug:
|
figured out why I never saw this thread before! You definitely got my attention, though.
