Jet-Hot coating is good stuff. I have a new muffler and pipes for Gretchen that will be coated before they go on. I'm waiting to find another good heater box. I have one nice and one needimˇA of patching on the shelf. Anyway... I'm a maintenance guy at a snack food >no advertising due to attitude from recent events< plant. We have Jet coated several of our gearboxes that no paint would last on. It withstands the salt, moisture, and caustic washdowns very well. It's a thin coating, almost like plating. I believe the process is sandblasting, spraying, and baking. We sent our cases to a place in Bridgeport PA (main distributor?) but I've heard there's a closer (to me) place near Camp Hill. I web searched and found a couple other places. I crashed and burned twice on two different servers for Bridgeport. I'm not trying again. One was www.goracing.com/jethot/index.html. I looked for my info on Jet-Hot but haven't found it yet. They have an 800 number and will send info. If you know anyone who races, their headers might be coated with it. I think Jet-Hot guarantees two years of coating satifaction and lifetime no rust through, at least for headers. Rambling on: Dave Burden's letter on rear wheel clunking brings back sweet memories of three drums I've stripped in my years of VW's. That was back in the time of a big pipe, sledge, buddies, cusses, and busted breaker bars; before Mr. 3/4" impact. Ahhh.... flywheel memories too...
