Galvanising a chassis

magicdrshoon · Feb 10, 2009

Anyone know where I can take a chassis to get it galvanised? And how much it might cost?

Cheers!

Errmmm to an electroplating company that does hot dip galvanising?? They have them all over the country so I'm sure that where ever you are???? There'll be one fairly close.

On a similar point... Galvanizing a bulkhead? I want to do it so it will last and mine is in good nick... BUT I have heard they can twist? And is it really worth it?

could always clean it up properly back to bare metal and paint it with cold galvanising paint

Thanks for your help Redhand.

I admit that I hadn't expected the answer to "Where do I take a chassis to be galvanised" to be "A galvanising company", although maybe I should have!

I was wondering if there were any Landyzone favourites or something. A company which someone else had used and would recommend.

I read about other guys doing this else where on this forum, and although they said it was good, it only lasted about 3 years.

Well it would help if you said where about's in the country you are. Not much point recommending one in Glascow If you live in Devon is there??

It tends to be the cold quench that warps it. They seem to be ok if they are left to air dry.

Mate in Doncaster has had his Bulkhead galvanised and it's fine.

After phoning every electroplating company in the 50 mile radius and asking them if they did hot dip galvanising with no joy, I turned to trusty ol' yell.com!

I've been quoted between £500 and £600 to galvanise a 110 chassis. Does this sound about right?

You could get a new non genuine one from Ebay for little more than that, and then sell your old one, probably cheaper overall.

Really?? Could you point me in the right direction like a link or something?

The cheapest I've seen, for either a 110" or a 109" galvanised chassis is around £1500 inc. VAT!

I'm sure somebody in Birmingham does them on Ebay for IRO £700, they're TD5 type but if you're happy to change the mounting points and you don't plan to do any snatch pulls on the rear I think they should be OK.
