Who the hell invented red lead
 

Have started to clean up my diff ready for painting, the guy I bought it off had decided to paint it with red lead. Have been at it each evening now for best part of a week even went out a bought a dremmel just to get into the corners of the casting. Red lead should be outlawed, luckily my mate was able to grit blast the cover plate and that has come up brill, pity he cant do the rest for me without stripping it out.

just put the driveshafts in and sand blast the whole thing. sand blasters dont damage rubber so its win win.

wire brush , aluminium paint and get the thing in Arfon you 'll be sorry when I come drifting round your corner next Spring:D :D :D

Nitromoors, dremmel and wire brush already in action Ayjay, have broken the back of it but I still hate red lead, my mate les has blasted the cover for me thats looking mint and I'm going to powdercoat it later today

red lead is a primer so just paint black on top :D

Since my car passed iva in may 2010 i have only seen my diff about 3 times! i wouldnt spend too much time on it!

i didnt do anything to mine i took it off the sierra and put it in my car :D

Well I have spent a bit of time on it today and hopefully will put some pictures up

Arfon
