Restoring an old Shocker III motor

[woofercooker 10+ year member]

I picked up this motor on the forum. It had the normal wear that a raw steel motor gets over the years. I started by sanding off some of the impurities and then laid on a few coats of paint. Here are a couple of pics of the motor masked off and drying.

Next the motor arrived with quite a bit of debris in the gap which needed to be cleaned out. Also all of the mounting holes were stripped clean and needed to be re-threaaded. I took care of that with a simple tap and die set and was able to get the basket all mounted up. Going to make it into a nice beefy little 10 for my collection.

More to come as I put the recone together.

I cleaned out the original mounting holes and re-threaded them with a 1/4" die

DBz paint. Its made from gatorade which has electrolytes in it which adds powuh to the motor making it able to handle 5k rms.............more than wut it was originally.
