No I get new races with the bearings....pfffffffffttttttttt!!!
just checking on you cause I know how you gewbers are, lolRofl
I thought that's what "G" was short for ??? Gewber....
If you sandblasted the inside of the hub your races will be to small now and you will have problems with it.
Thats a possibilty for sure plus the seals might not fit good and tight either.......not to mention the bearing buddies.Quote:

Put rubber tape on machined surfaces
Good job Dave....way to go

Good job.... That's using your head for something other than a hat rack.Quote:

All right Gator you need to splain to me about this rubber tape, Always ready to learn somtin knew.
Looks good to me, hope it works.
The rubber tape works just like the rubber gloves you stick your hands in when sand blasting. The media bounces off the rubber tape. Protecting surfaces you cover with the tape. Don't hold the nozzle on spots you cover with the tape.Quote:

Wilbur, now that's funny...
Bill, I know you didn't , I was just kiddin.
time to put it all back together and get the boat wet again
Springs,spring hardware, bearings, and seals on order. Bill's got my bunk material (i got to go get it) I need to go to lowes and get 2x4 to make bunks. Would you use pressure treated or cypress .....??? And where do you get stainless steel staples???
I would use cypress if I could get it....the chemicals in pressure treated lumber can eat aluminum up .....Most around here just use plain untreated 2x4's. You could use galvanized roofing nails instead of staples.
fastenal on brooks road,they out everythingQuote:

nice job--keep notes for when "we" do mine:)
Had a guy tell me today that he can get the whole trailer sand plasted and powered coated for about $400.00 . A little much for my old bass tracker, but somthing for a ranger owner to think about....
hahaha--I'm on the same budget as you--only reason I got the boat at all was it was free:) has cost me though--I might could save that 400 in oh about a year:)Quote:
