G'day folks,
Gadge, that was the most anyone has been able to explain about the "problem" with powder coating. I appreciate the time you took to type that out. Thank you.
Well, it
is a subject on which I can bring some professional expertise/experience to bear.
That meant that I didn't need to look up any of that info...
Guess this one will be painted or just hit with something to prevent more rust, as has been suggested. Will newer model discs fit this shaft and base? I see that the disc nut and washer are different to PT models.
Maybe treat it the same way I'm going to do a Mayfair Ute base underside soonish, after a suggestion from NormK. Power wire brush, grit blast any pitted areas, brush on coat of 'fish oil' anti-rust, final coat of bitumen paint after the fish oil has dried. Bitumen paint doesn't 'set hard' when it dries, so it won't chip off.
Not sure offhand about PowerTorque disc compatibility - but the blade sets for your original disc are easy to get anyway.
