Tools for the job...Home built Vapour blaster
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2013 7:35 am
Hello all,
I haven't been on here for a while, things are looking as good as ever. so its coming to the end of the summer and I must start my KR1S restoration project.. but i'm still riding it as the sun is out.
In the meantime I was looking into vapour blasting for the various engine casings and decided to have a go at building one for myself.
I started looking at a few pictures and got the basics and went to work on converting 2 old clip top oil drums, a plastic barrel, and a foul water pump into a functioning vapour blaster. here are some pictures of the unit.
