Interior frame rust.....

[mrjim0214]

ok some of you may have seen my split in the frame

I think/know there rust happening in there, is there anything i can slosh around around in there to "KILL" the rust? I remember a product from 20+ yrs ago called "rustmort" I think, is that still around or something similiar or new and improved???? That split is at the rear lower a-arm bracket for those who wanted to know......while your here vote: bearing carrier w/ zerk: take inside bearing seal out, leave outside in orrrr take inside and outside seal outta bearing???

Atleast spray some wd40 in there to slow down the rust and clean it a little.

I have used this,

http://www.kbs-coatings.com/RustBlast.html

with success. And, I was hesitant, when I purchased it. I thought that it was expensive, and I don't believe most "snake oil" stories.

3 years later, I am still happy.

You might be able to "Slosh" something around, but then you'd have to "seal" it afterwards.

If it were mine, I'd strip it down, make all of the frame repairs, drill a few strategically placed drain holes, and send it off to be dipped.

I don't know what the chemicals are, but "dipping" it will, probably, do a more thorough job of cleaning. Then you could "chrome" it, or some other type of coating.

An "old adage," anything worth doing, is worth doing correctly.

My KX frame is done, like described.

I guess that you have to decide if it's worth it.

Good luck....

welll i just found "rustmort" in local auto store (thieves) $18 for a PINT !:loco: suddenly rhynos rust stuff sounds cheap!!! I may go that route...oh yea, they wanted $13 for flush valve stems, alot? I dont have chain auto stores near me

I forgot to add that I sealed my stuff with this.

The product listed in the prior post, won't work alone. You have to "Seal" it after the conversion.

This is why I thought that it was expensive.

I am still happy with it, though.

thanks, i saw that on there too, i was wondering how it will work with just "sloshing" it around as opposed to actually "applying" it. anything will b better than nothing i guess. i found 10% coupon for KBS, for those that dont know about coupons, google "coupon codes" most all these websites have coupons if you know where too look.

Make sure and drill some 1/16" drain holes, in the low points. I have them in all of my machines.

Or, make sure that you stay out of the water. :haha:
