Hey all, just thinking about rust proofing the 90 with dinitrol and remember seeing an access diagram a while ago but I can't find it now. Had a good search on google as well and can't find one there either. Anyone have a link?
 
access is simple, its called a drill and a shed load of dinitrol plugs off ebay :) I drilled every 6-8 inches on the chassis and plugs mean I can pop em and redo with ease ..... :)

Cheers for that, I thought there was already access points though as I remember seeing a diagram for it. If no one has it I'll contact dinitrol direct and see what they have.

there are loads of holes but they are irregular, far easier to do a uniform job and be sure you have got everywhere, the dinitrol plugs make redoing very simple, I bought a sealey pressure waxoyl gun, not the cheapest option at £80+ but superb piece of kit, a million times better than spray cans or the usual underseal gun at £10.

if you would rather not drill its easy to get underneath and squirt through every open hole you find... better too much than too little but having stripped to a bare chassis I cant see how you can get everywhere through existing holes unless you have £2000+ of very high pressure kit like chrissyboy

Any point plugging the holes when the chassis has loads anyway?

ive drilled the top rail which has no open holes normally, plugs prevent excessive water ingress , ive also put m10 x 100 bolts through all the extra bolt holes, drain holes in the lower rail have been left clear

Only down side to this is condensation build up and reduced evaporation due to reduced air movement.

Say it's been soaked through, you then park it in the sun for a day, the water cannot exit the chassis except down the way which is not conducive to evaporation.

If the chassis, bulkhead, door pillars, door frames have been blasted with the correct grade of Dinitrol, then you want it to do it's job by being a barrier and you want normal drying processes to allow the chassis to dry out naturally.

Dinitrol - bearing in mind that is just the brand and there are about 10 versions, of which one is a very thin substance which is used at the factory by some big name car manufacturers like BMW and VW which is a penetrating fluid which will go like a vapour when sprayed, run everywhere and leave everything it touches with a waxy coating on it which is what I used internally, you can spray that stuff in the bottom of the door pillar and it will mist out the bulkhead about 2 feet away.

I do know of one guy who filled his chassis of his restored bus with about 50% by volume with oil, he put in drain plugs, and filled about every other hole in the chassis, every year he would dump the oil and refill it. I wouldn't much like to use used engine oil as the heavy metals, acids and hydrocarbons could actually erode the steel. But he liked it.

Yes, that's pretty much what happened when I did mine. Sprayed the thin and runny Dinitrol product into all the holes until it started running out elsewhere, moving the lance back and forth to try to ensure it's spread around inside. You get a vapour that resembles steam coming out all over the place too, which looks very impressive and makes it look like you're doing a thorough job. I'm hoping my chassis will last a long time if I do this every summer.
 
I did ths with mine i bought the half metre lance stuck it in all the way and pressed the button and slowly pulled the lance out as it bloomed a fine spray.
emptied three litres into the chassis.
 
I emailed Dinitrol and they sent me back a comprehensive guide and also an access diagram for a 110. I also phoned a few of the treatment centres listed on their site, the closest one to me quoted £150+vat, which seems like a massive bargain, considering the kit would cost me £120 to buy myself. I questioned the guy about what's involved and he said he needs it for a few days to prepare then do the bulkhead, doors chassis and underbody etc. So it seems like the full job. I cant really understand why he's so cheap when everywhere else quotes £500+.
He didn't have the diagram from Dinitrol so I've just emailed that to him, I'll post back if there's any change in price.
