Rust prevention note on used chassis that have been galvanized
VoteA few notes on rust prevention on chassis that have been blasted and galvanized on the outside, but not so well on the inside.
I am seeing some vehicles come in on old chassis that have been dipped and are showing signs of internal corrosion, which are very difficult to repair due to the build up of zinc.
Internal corrosion is mainly due to the metal sweating – warm summer days, but cool nights
This is one of the reasons why bulkheads rot so much – you have to understand that the bulkhead is made from several overlapping pieces of unprotected steel, which will sweat and corrode
Galvanizing bulkheads will not stop the internal corrosion, but a rust preventative like Dinitrol will creep between the lavers of steel and not allow water to contact the bare metal.
I have had galvanized bulkheads in the past and had so many issues I no longer fit them
As YouTube have moved the goals to become monetized, and I have a niche channel, funding is never going to happen, so I have set up a Patreon as I would like to get a higher speed upload, which means I get post more videos, AND in 1080
Takes me about 2.5 hours to upload a 15 minutes at the moment.
I will be giving credits to my supporters at the end of my videos from now on. I am very grateful to one and all!
