Just used Jasco to strip the primary cover. Worked REALLY well. Very little scraping.     (Message edited by ft bstrd on March 01, 2015) | ||

Took me a while to strip my XB wheels as well... was a pain in the butt. Now I have 40 gals of powdercoating stripper. Its nasty stuff but i can drop in a wheel and walk away. Pull it out 10 mins later and its 100% stripped. Rinse, beadblast, and ready to coat again. I love the stuff. | ||

Alright I officially hate the PO if my front rim! So it had a nice grey powder base then a white powder coat then grey primer then black paint took about 6 hours to strip it!   | ||

!st of all that CNC rear pulley looks SICK!!! is that 55T? 2nd this is like so deja vu for me as I've done most of these things years ago lol 3rd those swingers fittings on the previous page look identical to mine.... p.s if that pulleys 55T how much for one? and are you hardening the teeth some how our does it not need them? big job hey? looking good Joe | ||
| Joesbuell |
couple of inspiration pics for ya   | ||
| S1owner |
Thanks Joe and yes alot of work!!!!! I appreciate all the help and inspiration. The oil lines are basicly the same just come from a diffrent manufacturer that was local. As for the pelley it is actually a 61T I can get a belt to fit it the 65 I could not it was to tight lol you told me so! It is going in for hardening today The cost well that would be up to Purpony he is making it for me and I am sure he has the ability to do a 55 | ||
