Re: Rust sealer and filler choice's

I posted a similar question a couple of weeks ago and had a couple of very helpful responses. I may've been a bit hasty going for the Bilt Hamber Hydrate, apparently the Vatcan has advantages, but having done quite a lot more reading both are great products. Primer filler, in my experience, is great...

Re: Saab Front Seats

That's a great outcome! I have a set of heated leather from my own 9-5 that died and I will definitely be exploring this mod myself. Looking forward to seeing your set-up!

Re: Saab Front Seats

100leelee: Great result, any photos to share (especially of the runner mod's etc)? Hubcap: Relaxing position while driving?? I suppose at 6'6" relaxation is a relative term but good to know you have achieved something less than excruciating!  Good pics btw, thanks! As for hunched position in mi...

Re: RUSTPROOFING AND TOP COAT ADVICE

Thanks Justin, that looks like good stuff and seems to come with a handy applicator pipe, useful for at least two areas I am about to weld: below the windscreen and on the front wing/nose corner by the top grill.  I think I'll need a few litres to treat my lacework, even after I've cut out as many o...

Re: RUSTPROOFING AND TOP COAT ADVICE

Thanks Roger, I'll read around that too.  I have also been pointed to Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 and have a litre on order. I also think I have a 2K solution for primer and top coat using the Jawel non Iso system. Not sure what plasticizer I'll need for the bumpers and mirrors, but I'm about to call the...

Re: Saab Front Seats

Which model Saab were the seats from originally?  I sold a pair of heated 9-5 seats for use locally in a T2 and whilst they were beautifully comfortable, there was no way I could have driven that bus (I'm 6'5" although now shrinking with age)! The 9-3 seats are smaller than the 9-5s. One benefi...

Re: RUSTPROOFING AND TOP COAT ADVICE

Thanks for the steer!  Quite a bit of reading there and a lot to get my head around, so a slow read over the weekend.  However, the more I know, the better equipped I will be when the time comes to top-coat. Not immediately obvious though is how to KILL rust that isn't worth cutting out and that can...

RUSTPROOFING AND TOP COAT ADVICE

Apologies to moderators if this has been covered but my first search attempts didn't really show the details I need. If it has, please point me to where. I'm brand new to the forum having just purchased a 1990 T25/T3 Autohomes 'lacework' camper.  It is currently on the road with valid MOT but needs ...
