it's not much, and it's mostly surface rust on the long, the jack post brace is worse... but the long is solid...
I'm thinking: grind/brush off all the rust and then ospho(or metal ready) and por-15 is that good enough for solid metal? or should I put a plate over it after that as an extra brace? let me know what you think... btw, when I took the rocker off, no less than a pound of DIRT fell out!! I know to clean this spot, but evidently the last guy forgot (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Attached image(s) |

That doesn't look too bad. I have certainly seen worse. I agree with Kevin. If you can't weld up new stuff, be gentle with wire wheel, treat it and paint it something fierce. Then just don't use your jack ports, ever. Matter of fact, I can think of one 914 in 18 years that I have owned over 25 of them that I have ever used the factory jack on any of them. Even my first one, I knew better. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
If it were up to me, I would just remove them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) |
