Galvanised chassises!

In message , TVS writes

I've no idea whether they are still there or would do this sort of job, but Bunner Galvanising in Liverpool hot-dipped a lot of the metalwork for my boat.

Their claim to fame was the hot-dipped Fiat 500.

When I read of galvanised chassis, are these normally hot-dipped or one of the lesser types of galvanising?

There is Stoke Galvanising Ltd who are in Burslem at Hot Lane Industrial estate. Tel 01782 811226. They Galvanised a radio mast for a guy at work so a chassis should be no problem but a quick call should clarify.

Which one is this? As for prep, I think they dip them in acid first to clean them but could be wrong. Cost I've no idea.

Try Pillar-Wedge in Heywood. AFAIK, prep is to bead or shot blast all over to clean metal.

If your chassis is thin gauge steel such as used for Defender then there could be a problem of some warping due to heat. Be prepared for it to emerge banana shaped from the dip.

Only kidding;-)

Oh you'r a great help! ;) For a moment I didn't think you where joking and was about to ask about early 60's chassis but of unknown thickness! Heheh

Thanks for all the replies, the phone line will be humming tomorow :) Toby

Crow Engineering in Auchterarder used to sell S111 galvanised chassis. regards,Mark.

Hi there

You can also try Merseyside Galvinising there based in Garston in Liverpool if you want details I can dig them up and post them for you but I know they do have a minimum charge I think its £75 but dont quote me I may be wrong.

All the best Paul

Thanks... if you would! They would be closer for me too. Toby
