Chassis bead blasting
« on: March 07, 2013, 11:28:31 AM »
Hi all, I had a call from a friend looking for somewhere in Fife that can do some bead blasting of his Defender's chassis at a reasonable cost.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Dunfermline / Lochgelly areas preffered.
Thanks in advance for any info.

I got my chassis Galvanized in Cumberland by Hi-Galv and they sub contracted some one to do the shot blasting for them. The never said who it was tho  ???
any ways total cost for 2H shot blasting and Galvanized was £360 which i thought was a Bargain!

Yeah I think they do quite a few landrover chassis.

Mine was a great finish just a little bit of slag on the rear cross member but its easy enough to sand down and paint!

They also do colored Galv coats in case you wanted to hide the fact it was Galv from Light fingerd people...
