Our thanks go to Fertan UK for the use of this case study |

Fertan has a German background and has been used and reviewed in a
number of magazines. They've always been pleased with the results
of our products. This section shows the photographs from the
article in 'Oldtimer Markt'.
As soon as the translation comes back I'll include the original text. In the meantime it just has my own comments. |

The work was carried out on professional premises as the lift allowed good access to the car and allowed for better photographs. We used a small compressor to spray Fertan Rust Converter into the chassis members. Some of the cavity wax was sprayed by compressor and some was sprayed directly from the 500ml aerosols. As we manufacture and sell them we used our own Fertan spray guns and Fertan endoscopes for inspecting the inside of the chassis and voids. Standard guns / extensions would work perfectly well.

It is always an interesting time when you start drilling holes in a
classic vehicle. We approached one door in this way just as an
example of how to treat a cavity to which there was no easy access, like
a chassis member. On the other door we removed the trim panel and
worked in an open area.
After carrying out the treatment to either remove or convert the rust in the door, this is the cavity wax in a 500ml aerosol with the choice of nozzles and the extension piece with the spray rose on the end of the extension, that we will use for prolonged protection.

| With the drill up and running a number of holes were drilled, this one is in the end of the chassis member where it meets up with the wheel arch. |

The endoscope makes it easy to see into a cavity. The alternative is to drill additional holes and shine a light in through one whilst viewing through another |
|
| Fertan's supply of Endoscopes is quite extensive with straight, flexible, lit or unlit. With or without mirrors and extension pieces. These can be ordered on request |
|
|
|
|
This time we decided to drill into the underside of the chassis member to enable us to find out the rust damage to this area. | |
