Sand Blow Cabin

[RMB-Racing]

I don't now if that is the word of it??? - but I have purchased my self one of those, in a ok size.

It works really great, and the results is fairly and ok.

Its no matter what - cheaper than to pay others for the job.

Looking good, so are you going to be stripping parts off the car to put through it and clean up.

In the UK they are called sand blasting cabinets, so you were pretty close

Okay - thanks!

Sandblasting is a powerful word - me like!

Well, I have already the whole engine and transmission out of the car.

So everything is going through the sand blasting cabinet one at a time.

It?s gonna be nice!

My compressor is a small one, with 4,0 Bhp and a capacaty on 100 L.

Ohter data on the compressor:

Power 400 volt
Volume 500 liter
Effective air 375 liter
Max preassure 9 bar
Cylindre 2
Revs. 1450/min

Buts its okay for me, and the things i use it for.

[AlfaJack]

9 Bar is a good pressure, mine only goes up yo 7-8bar and struggles to maintain it, however it is 50 years old and a bit tired.

How did you took out the little plastics "bolts"?
Did you manage to get new ones?

[AlfaJack]

I drilled them out. I did not try to get new ones, I was going to replace them with allen bolts but I never got round to it - I no longer have the wheels

[wrinx]

Apparently if you warm them up they are likely to come out easier and without being destroyed. Failing that some allen bolts would look good

Last I heard you could still buy them...but at ?1 each the costs was just silly!
