 Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2015 5:21 pm Post subject: Bulkhead Padding of Doom |
 |
|
So I picked up a pretty decent condition bulkhead padding for Gilfy at the weekend.
What is the best way to safely remove the inevitable oil that's covering the lower half of it?
Just normal degreaser or what?
I also got the fan cover which is a slightly different colour so I guess I'm going to have to die that.
Cheers.

| I used "gunk" engine degreaser and the pressure washer, came up a treat, takes ages to dry though. Is the anything wee can seal it with? |

It's gone to Ireland, for a gte that's getting painted this month. Apparently totally mint and he's been after a bulkhead padding for a while.
