Which parts to Waxoyl? (mk3/4/5)

[RichardJ 59]

OK - two cans of waxoyl down and I have done the following areas:

 

Interior

- Sills (sprayed from holes beneath carpet)

- Door interiors

- Rear quarter panel (underneath rear cards)

- Boot floor quarter panels (pumped full of waxoyl on either side of boot floor)

- rear wheel tub (spayed along edge where it joins the quarter panel)

- B post (sprayed through quarterlight hinge holes, seat belt mount holes and from bottom of sill)

- A post (sprayed from underneath dash and inside kick panels in footwells)

 

Exterior

- Chassis rails (attacked from front bumper mount, engine bay access holes, rear bumper mount and interior floor plugs)

- Rear Y-shape suspension mount

- Rear vallance void (where fuel tank straps plug in)

- Inside fron wheel arches - on basis I will get a Lokari arch liner at some point, and this will then be like a box section

- Down sides of fuel filler neck

 

Other

- Boot lid (sprayed inside cross members)

- Bonnet lid (sprayed inside cross members)

- Scuttle panel (whole interior section where wiper mechanism sits)

- Wiper mounts

- Slam panel (voids in top)

- Front vallence section beneath radiator

- Behind Headlamp panel (where water seems to pool, but not drain)

- Seem where inner wing and chassis mount meet

- Inner wing tops

 

Has anyone else got any more recommendations?

OK- I have picked up some Lokari wheel arch liners for the front, the cost of which means a few people aren't getting any christmas presents this year.

 

If anyone is interested, I'll post some pictures and a write-up of my experience fitting them in my My Cortina page over the weekend.

I've never heard of Lokari wheelarch liners, are these a one-size-fits-all type product or are they tailored to fit individual models? I've got a set of Mk3 Granada liners for mine which apparently fit well, though I haven't tried to install them yet.

Yes please really interested to see what they look like when fitted.

Thanks

They're made unique for each car, and fort he mk3 they are basically a curved piece of aluminium (with reinforcement ridges pressed into them) which are cut to suit the profiles of the wheel arch interior.

 

They have a rubber "blade" around the edges to form a seal against both the inner and outer wing. They should work quite well in theory, but being semi-regid aluminium, I imagine there will need to be some bending and tapping with a rubber mallet to get them to properly comply with the wheel arch shape, but only time will tell.

 

 

I'll post a reply with a link to the My Cortina page when the write-up and pictures are ready.

I'd be interested to see how they fit.

 

I've been thinking to make a front arch liner to make a compartment by the front-of-a-post panel to house a fuel pump etc.

I will be ordering a pair for the Corsair as soon as the Euro drops a bit.
