soak it in phosphoric acid so it will never rust up again.

did it to an RE SX motor after it rusted up, after it was soaked in it and cleaned up it sat around for about a year and a half. never rusted up again.

home depot. can be found in the paint area. cost maybe ehhhhh 3-5 dollars.

just take a bucket, dump all the acid in there. and sit the motor in there. let it sit over night. then the following day just scrub it with a soft sponge and then rinse off well with hot water. let the motor sit in the sun for a long period of time to evap all the water in it, or stick it in the oven.

got any new spiders for that cone assembly?

either way good luck.

i kinda did the same thing. i had a SX coil/cone/spider assembly in tact. so i put it on an XXX motor and threw 3k on it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

looks nice, always nice to see something like this brought back to life.

id fill that up a bit more, making sure to get the gpa and all that full, if theres any rust in there, it'll be bad in the long run if it gets shaken out.

yea make sure when you take it out of the bath and dry it off that you spray with an air compressor

air compressor not a good idea unless you got a face shield. a guy at work got the sh!t in his eyes. i usually use a clean rag and go over it a bunch

well it'd be nice to find out what kind it really was. looks sja built, so i would think atomic or AB.

well the outside isnt too much to worry about, id still be worried about the gap. so having it overfilled and completely soaking the motor over the top would be a very good idea. then get something to cover your face and arms and any other exposed skin, and air compress out the gap.
