Martin; - what model of ultrasonic cleaner are you using?

Salty

martin · Post by **martin** » Sun Dec 09, 2012 9:52 pm

its made by a german company called triton.
it has a adjustable heater that goes up to 80c
it is the 4 litre size.
its big enough for brake calipers and it will also take a kr1s cylinder head and barrel

mind you. it was over £200

£200 is a bit strong - do you do a carb cleaning service?

Got a pair of carbs from a barn find KR that looks like they have been laying in a bath of dog pee and rock salt - even I wouldn't try and use them without a clean

Nice, what coating have they been treated to Martin?

martin · Post by **martin** » Wed Dec 19, 2012 5:28 pm

just zinc plate ben .
they don't seem as shiny as what they have done before. but still ok.

must be zinc plate and not bright zinc plate [still better than rust

when I get the next lot done [I will do your rear wheel spindle and washer
with castle nut. ] Bernie wants front and back spindels with suspension nuts and bolts.

thanks for the kips link ben

I was thinking of getting a batch done myself, but I want to get the bike as a rolling chassis first before I send the frame to the endorsers. All will be revealed why further down the build thread.
