Electrolysis cleaning service?

[lolsteve]

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

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.

[clarkey2010]

As above, that's all I use .

Soda crystals from tesco are a £1 for 1 KG last time I checked

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?

i guess so. I think it would just go slower but if youre leaving stuff overnight not sure it matters too much.

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.

Bought a 4amp one from b&m for £9.99 Don't think I'd get much more for less

Let me know how you get on.

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

[lolsteve]

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

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

[Eeyore]

oh wow thats super impressive? what did you use as the electrode in the bottom of the pot?

[Ben_w]

Any decent sized bit of scrap steel will do.

I use an old brake disc

[lolsteve]

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

[zx_volcane]

wow, im so gonna give this ago

results are just too good

[lolsteve]

Considering the weak charger and small amount if steel I'm using its very impressive giving the braking system a right refreshing

[Poodle]

That's a great result!

[DeeTurbo]

How much soda to how much water did you use?

[lolsteve]

Varies, think 1st time was 20l to 0.4kg. I tried stronger mix but charger got hot and cut out so back to weak
