Electrolysis cleaning service? - lolsteve - 07-02-2017 Wanting to refurbish alot of the suspension components like hubs and calipers to help it get it feeling factory fresh and driving perfect ready for FCS  I know a little while ago folks on here started building their own setups. Would anyone still have theirs going and be willing to dunk a few bits for me ?  Edit: Forgot to mention will pay for the time & Electric through beer tokens or even beer at FCS RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - Eeyore - 08-02-2017 I was looking at this the other day. I presume you've got a battery charger... So all you need now is like the quids worth of soda some water and some metal bars. RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - clarkey2010 - 08-02-2017 As above, that's all I use . Soda crystals from tesco are a £1 for 1 KG last time I checked RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - lolsteve - 08-02-2017 Don't actually own a battery charger just jump leads. Perhaps now is the time to get one. Would something like this have enough juice for the job? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191694303679 RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - Eeyore - 08-02-2017 i guess so. I think it would just go slower but if youre leaving stuff overnight not sure it matters too much. RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - Poodle - 08-02-2017 Buy a second-hand one, can get a much more powerful one for less monies and it's not like it needs to work well.

Welcome to lob them my way if you struggle. Won't take 5 mins to fire up my set up again. Only payment terms are Henry Weston's Vintage RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - lolsteve - 17-02-2017 Thanks Ben but just finished assembling my setup, got it running overnight now to see how it goes. Water is already pretty brown so should be seeing some good results   RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - lolsteve - 19-02-2017 4 amp charger and low concentration of soda crystals left overnight  Result: very very impressed, caliper carriers almost come up like new. If they hadn't have been painted previously it would have been perfect RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - Eeyore - 19-02-2017 oh wow thats super impressive? what did you use as the electrode in the bottom of the pot? RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - Ben_w - 19-02-2017 Any decent sized bit of scrap steel will do. I use an old brake disc RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - lolsteve - 20-02-2017 I used some steel bar from b&q. Cut in half and bent over edge of the tub and then connected using some copper wire. Not much surface area though so will try and get an old brake disc like ben RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - zx_volcane - 20-02-2017 wow, im so gonna give this ago results are just too good RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - lolsteve - 20-02-2017 Considering the weak charger and small amount if steel I'm using its very impressive giving the braking system a right refreshing RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - Poodle - 20-02-2017 That's a great result! RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - DeeTurbo - 21-02-2017 How much soda to how much water did you use? RE: Electrolysis cleaning service? - lolsteve - 21-02-2017 Varies, think 1st time was 20l to 0.4kg. I tried stronger mix but charger got hot and cut out so back to weak
