Retroanaconda Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I’ve got the below down for blasting and galvanising, anything else I’ve missed? I’m not planning to do the axle casings as it will mean I can get those built up while I’m waiting, and I’ve never had any rust problems with those. I was thinking perhaps the suspension arms? They are solid forged steel so I’d have thought not really susceptible to rust under normal conditions, plus I’d have to remove the galv in places to fit the bushes.

western Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 rear corner vertical cappings if not already galvanised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 What about the exhaust mount brackets, front inner wings even?, the brackets that steady the B post from the tub, bumper?, A frame (at least do the crows feet if not the rest) fuel tank mounts, rear shock mounts, turrets, radiator frame, bracket for the header tank (OK I'm running out of ideas now) fuel filler neck.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Some good ideas there, thanks. A lot of bits I’ve already got. But the radiator frame and top brackets will be added to the list. Current bumper is a bit crusty in places so I will replace that entirely.

western Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) I thought we had a fairly good list of parts that were worth galvanising in the tech archive but I can't seem to find it. Found the thread I was looking for Edited February 14, 2021 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Is it not just a case of - if it’s steel galvanise it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Battery box is worth doing, IIRC just drill the rivets out from the seat box. I basically galved everything steel including wheel arches etc. I didn't do the axle casings like you mentioned (had concerns of them possibly moving out of true) nor the hockey sticks etc. Just had those items shot blasted and primered then a few coats of galv paint and top coat. HTH 👍 G🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I wouldn't worry about the galv in the suspension arm holes. I did the two parts of the Aframe and had no issues with putting new metalastic bushes in. Only thing you'll need is the right size die nut to clean up the threads at the chassis end.

western Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I wire brush & used Galvafroid & gloss black chassis paint on the A frame, trailing, radius arms & panhard rod. It hasn't fallen off yet 7 years since painting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 My battery box is the aluminium YRM one so one less piece of steel to worry about. That thread is good, apologies I didn’t find that in my search. Rather embarrassingly I even contributed to it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Any steps you have fitted. The braces for the rear wings from the tub floor. The rear door lock retaining strips (with the captive nuts or captive bolts, usually anodised but that rusts through). Radiator/intercooler mounting frame.
