Fuel pressure reg mounted




All our hose fittings are going to be black or brushed alloy so this lot needs to be stripped of Anodizing. Sodium Chloride is the answer.

Looking good. They got cracking with that body work.
Maybe Sodium Hydroxide, and not Sodium Chloride?

Haha, you are of course correct. Sodium chloride may not work. Might make it taste nicer though.

Happy with the bodywork. Very good work and as you said speedy service. The price was on par with other quotes also..

I suppose you could pop some in the sandblaster, and use it as a mild abrasive.

Or mix it with water and stick a few amps through it. Then you'd get your Sodium Hydroxide, and some chlorine gas for good measure.
