MikeD Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hi, got my pile of blasted and repaired bits repaired and ready and rang the Wedge place at Sawtry to arrange galvanising and got "Sorry we don't do anything other than chassis these days" Has anyone had a bulkhead galvanised recently and if so where? Ideally close to Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire but when you have spent loads of time blasting and repairing things I might be more willing to travel now 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Found somebody who will collect, galvanise and return Happy again now 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Who are you using ? just out of interest . Wedge at Haverhill have been doing lots of parts for a 109 2a FC build I've been involved with , although not the bulkhead as the client had it hot zinc sprayed . cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR-HIPPO Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I was also going to enquire about who, and how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Premier Galvanizing in Corby, they operate a collect and deliver service which happens to cover Bedfordshire. I will know how good it all was when I get things back next wednesday Wedge Sawtry told me that their group policy (set 2 to 3 years ago) is that the only land rover parts they will do now is a chassis. Maybe Haverhill is a bit more flexible won't know the price until they have done the job as I have quite a number of other bits to get done as well but they have a minimum price of £75 and the collect/delivery is £45, both plus vat back 4 years ago wedge sawtry did a bulkhead for a family member and their minimum price then was £60 plus vat so not too dissimilar 5 hours ago, steve b said: had it hot zinc sprayed I think zinc spray would be a nicer finish but I am intending to leave it unpainted and I believe the dip process will be thicker and therefore last better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Thanks Mike , useful info . Not heard the policy thing for Wedge mentioned at all but if it comes up Corby is not so far away if they won't collect . cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Wedge at Sawtry have done many LR parts for me over the years (including my bulkhead), shame they are refusing certain parts but then again they are a major operator and doing small parts is probably more trouble than it is worth.

Oakmaster Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hereford (sadly not Hertford) Galvanisers offered to do mine about 5 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
