What does this cost, say for a vm micuni?

[Stewart Allen]

He did mine for $30.

OK - I'll take the free kick here if you all don't mind.

I am still doing wet blasting / vapour blasting / hydra blasting / hydro blasting and whatever everyone knows the process as (seems everyone has a different name to get the same result) in Sydney and loving it ! I still get a real kick out of seeing some dungy lump of metal emerge from the cabinet looking as close to freshly cast as you can get so am happy to take on forum members and their mates jobs. Dirt, road, doesn't matter to me and do alloy car parts as well.

My deal is trying to make sure nothing is missed including deep into the fins where others just leave the paint and dirt, plus ensure all oil galleries are, wherever possible, fully plugged or taped up to prevent ingress of blasting media - ditto all threaded holes. Some will tell you they do it but I'm still hearing plenty of horror stories - glass bead and lubrication system definitely don't mix !!!

My best contact is 0416074750. Leave a message if unanswered and it WILL be returned. More than happy to help out country and interstate as well - that's why my local post office thinks I'm a great guy !!!

You've been quiet Dave.

G'day Firko

Yeah it has been a while hasn't it !

I've been a busy little blaster lately but not complaining. Actually looking to ramp up a notch in the new year with some other machinery to do a one stop shop for a bunch of stuff. Not much on the bike front but want to have a go next year as I miss having fun. Also should have a new hauler on the go - a 1960 FB Holden ute (must be mad)

Bought another Cheney which I should have here early in the new year - a TM400 just for laughs !!!

Give me a ring when you're not busy and I'll head out after a shift and catch up.

Cheers

Dave

Dave I know what you mean now , when talking about cleaning the fins . Thats hard long work . I found a solution to that . When someone wants a engine job done , I check for any loose bolts ( so they cant ruin the pump) , then I show them how to use the machine . They pay by the hour and then its up to them how clean they want it . It works well for both parties , they are usually friends or existing suspension customers anyway . We use it mainly for in house work , like old forks or shocks . They get blasted before pulled down , nothing goes inside , and its great to work on them .Thanks again Dave, for your help when I started up .

Hi Walter.

Yeah, some deep seated crap can be a challenge. I have made all sorts of picks and probes to get at problem areas and hoping next years purchase if it goes ahead will see to all that, ditto tenacious paint which can be a bastard as the process is, as you know, relatively passive to the parent metal so doesn't just rip paint off like grit blasting (which rips off more than paint !)

It was a pleasure to help you get on the right track with you blaster  - they are an amazing thing but a BIG step for a home restorer. That is also how I like to do my forks by the way - so much less hassle and worry.

Dave just did a couple of hubs and a complete engine for my SR500.

WOW!! what a job and what a gentleman. The parts came up like new and he is a wealth of knowledge. Price is very reasonable.
