blast cleaning in west yorks

[classic2cv]

Does anyone know of a good sandblaster in west Yorkshire

I’m trying to find someone to clean some car and trailer parts

that i'm restoring

Only large outfits, that won't be interested in small stuff. Why not hire the gear and have a go yourself. You might find it works much much cheaper and it's summat new to have a go at. All good hire shops hire the gear out, and most sell consumables. Nozzles/grit etc

You could try and find a little powder coating outfit. I know there are a few near me (no use to you though), but they always have blasting equipment and are usually pretty reasonable, price wise.

I had my car chassis blasted and powdercoated at "Peteys" in Yeadon (near Leeds/Bradford airport) they did a good job for a "very" good price.
Mind you, I had to take it in on Saturday morning first thing and they did it while I waited, strange, there seemed to be no gaffer in and they forgot to give me a receipt.
I'd try 'round the back on a weekend, whichever place you find

Same for if your scrounging bits of steel. During the week when it's full of chiefs - err... no mate, go away. Go in on a saturday they will happily let you climb in their scrap skip and help yourself for the price of a coupla pints. The way of the world!

Like the car v. much Uncle F. All those little <2.5mm radii to deal with . What a pain! But well done with the little pretend tyres and squash balls etc.

There's a good guy in Sheffield who'll do small bits. Basically if I (he) can lift it onto my (his) bench I'll (he'll) do it.

*blushes* err, thanks all, it's not all my own work, it's a joint effort between me and my brother.
It's off the road at the moment, it's first MOT is due, needs a new brake master cylinder (obviously the odd one, the one that was fitted to Fords for only a couple of hours one morning, and is now impossible to get), new coilover bushes, diff cover welding to stop oil leak, new headlight, new rear halfshaft bearing as it's not been right since my last bump, etc. and it goes on

Not so much a mode of transport as a hobby

Theres a metallizers (sp) in Heckmondwike but i think they do tractor and farming stuff so they may only use a very course grit, But theres a place on lock street in Dewsbury. When i used to work for a powder coaters we used to send our stuff there.
Hope that helps mate.
