Well, I got pretty much all of it out of the engine comp. and rear trunk
Took it out using a small wirebrush on an electric drill Only seamsealer left back there is around the heater tubes (where they come out of the longs) It's pretty impossible to get to with the wirebrush/drill in that location Same for the seamsealer in the front trunk (where the gas tank is) It's tight and hard to reach there Can I hit it with some nasty chemical? Will paint stripper work on this stuff? I'm not a fan of paintstripper, but I'm running out of options here... Any tips are welcome... cheers, Jeroen ps. so far, no rust found under any of the removed seam sealer... knock on wood for what's left... |

Jeroen,
Not answering your question... but since I know how invested you are into the rear shock uprights.... There is a bunch of seam sealer upside of the uprights. I took a drill and round wire wheel (don't forget the safety glasses) and got 99.9% of the sealer out of these. After its out, you can then seam weld from the inside of the upright. There are a number of overlaping plates that are not accessible what so ever from the outside. I figured that this would have to help some, with strengthening the shock tops.... seeing as to how much effort you have already put into the same .... you may want to consider this while your there... $.02 brant |
