240Z: Tumbling some screws (how to)

So after i got my new delfir-chips i decided to make a little how-to:

1) Add Delfilr-chips and the parts you want to clean-up into the tumbler:

2) Add water (water 1:4 delfir chips ratio), and 2-3 drops dish washing fluid:

3) add a bit of random grease to one of the screws (this will give all the parts inside a thin grease cot which prevents it from immeadiatly starting to rust!, you will need to bath them in grease remover before giving the parts to the galvanizing-company!!)

4) Put lock on the tumbler, let it run 🙂

5) wait. have a beer meanwhile. check progress after about 8-12 hours

6) wait another 12 hours. have another beer if you want 🙂 check again, and after totally 24 hours it should look like this: almost perfect:

7) Extra tip: be sure to not run the process in a garage with -15° Celsius. this will make the water freeze even when the machine is running 🙂

    is it bad that i recognize specifically where that bolt goes on a 24o z? it’s an RLCA end bolt that goes into it to compress the inner bushings axially. go team.

    no that’s just right, you might be helpful identifying parts when i have to put back all the stuff together again *lol* i see you work on the same part of the car as me. a Interresting setup you got there.. might be interrested in a review when done 🙂

    let me know if i can help.

    the suspension is very well made, i’ll definitely be putting up a review of how it rides when completed – just give me a few more weeks 🙂
