Protect sills against corrosion

[timturbo]

Hello,

I'm working on my bay, replacing both sides sills.
I was wondering how I can protect these against the first possible rust?

Can I use waxoyl for this job ? Are there any other products to protect them?

On the outside, can I simply use por15 or something? I will paint them with epoxy first.

Thanks

There should be 2 plugs at the front and one at the rear, you would need a long probe - 5 foot - to get the waxoyl to the back

there are a number of similar cavity products take a look at http://www.rust.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or there is the Bilthammer products. I've been using the Bilthammer stuff myself in the cavities, bottom of doors etc, but only from an aerosol.

There are more points along the sill to get in Adey. Cavity map on this thread. http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=31729&p=268250&hilit=cavity+diagram#p268250" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

2' nozzle works a treat. I used this and was very impressed. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-DINITROL-ML-PENETRATOR-RUST-PROOFING-CAVITY-WAX-500ml-AEROSOL-EXTENSION-/320923093883?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item4ab881cb7b" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

More viscose then waxoyl and the 2' extention nozzle works a treat. 4 cans should be enough for the entire bus.

Dinitrol for me too, very impressed with it. Maybe stonechip the outside too.

Hi Chris guess what I've got a MOT arty0046: , 4 cans! I've used a gallon of waxoyl already I wondered why it keeps dripping, I need to take it for a spin to warm it up and leave it on someones drives to do its business! I had a look for the 2 points you mentioned but can't see them do you mean the 3 drain points or are there some behind the sills - in which case I have belly pans so can't see them?

Congrats Adey. Now post some pics you slacker.

Yes I mean't the drain holes. The extension hose with the Dinitrol pack above fits in the drain holes to get all along the sill. I think I had to drill a hole or 2 under the front sill behind the bumper. It will keep dripping for a while I'm afraid.

Guys,
Thanks for replying, but what i really need is a product that prevents corrosion on my new sills.
I do not need a product that stops rust (because there is no rust) i need a product that protects the new metal. Or have these products the same function?
Thanks
