How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

Thanks all. I’ve got my reading list and will figure out what I’ll use with regards to the speedi sleeves. All of the shafts have a worn grove so I’ll have to do something.

All of the casing parts are now clean ready for PORing tomorrow. They all soaked in the parts cleaner solution, then subjected to some power washing. I then sandblasted everything. After that everything was power washed again to remove the grit residue. Then I soaked them in Marine Clean, then another power washing. After this they were hit with Metal Prep etching solution. Now everything is so clean I’d eat a dry cracker off of them.

Tomorrow my plan is to spray with POR then top coat in the blue primer. I’m thinking I’ll probably do the final Army colour once final assembly is done.
