Hi, I have a question about treating the inside of the longs. I have some rust issues in the back of the long—jack point areas. I am cutting out and replacing the weak areas.
The area to the front of the jack point has some surface rust, but the metal is solid so I do not want to cut further forward. I am also going to put Brad Mayeurs kit over it all, so I am not worried about strength, I do however want to convert/seal the inside of the long going forward, before I install the kit to prevent further degredation. What is the best/easiest way to do this? I was looking at the Eastwood green aerosol frame stuff, the converter/sealer that has the hose, or maybe Ospho, but I am trying to not damage the heater hoses in there and still get decent coverage. I don't know how to get the aerosol hose up into the long Any suggestions? Can the heater hoses be pulled out and replaced without cutting the inner rocker completely out? What are they made of anyway? Thanks for any suggestions -Andrew |

I used some rust treatment stuff on my passenger side longitudinal about 14 years ago. I had easy access because of the largish opening at the bottom of the "hell hole". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I used some aerosol stuff, that might have come from Eastwood, I don't quite remember now who it came from. The aerosol can has a small piece of tubing that inserts into the nozzle. I found about a three foot long piece of flexible tubing that fit tightly onto the nozzle tubing. I inserted it as far as I could into the inside of the long. I then depressed the nozzle to start spraying and slowly pulled the tubing out as I was spraying. I did this a few times. I later had the hell hole welded up. That was 14 years ago and my long is still solid. (As far as I know). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I should also mention there aren't any heater hoses in my longs. At least not in that one. I would definitely treat it with something while you have access to the inside of the long.
