Is there a pictorial or diagram of all the empty cavities on a 914 that can/should be sprayed with rustproofing goop? As I make my way thru my 914 in regards to surface rust cleanup on exposed exterior surfaces I would like to also spray in all empty cavities some goop. So where are all of these cavities? I know the longs but where else? And where are the best places to drill/spray some goop?
Jeff,
Have you ever used that wax stuff....... Wilst having some fun?????
Just thinking outside the box bro.........

I was thinking of useing either the commercially available spray can of cavity wax or make my own concoction. I've heard you take 2.5 quarts turpentine,12 ozs. of beeswax/candle wax and 1 quart light machine oil and gently heat this solution and mix thouroghly into a sprayable end product. I'm thinking of possibly converting a garden pump up sprayer for this application.
You can buy a decent set up from Eastwood or even JCWhitney. Not as nice as the pro rig that Jeff shows (very nice!), but functional. I wouldn't bother trying to save money mixing your own formula, the stuff isn't that expensive, and you might not end up with exactly what you need.
For best results you've got to drill holes in the upper and lower parts of the longitudinals, as the heater tube in the middle prevents getting good coverage.
Here's a brief description of what I do.

Jeff - excellent work and method of explaining. Keep up the very good
work and information. Enjoy your comments on the Pelican Board
Mulholland Drive thread.
Perry: I am using your procedure on my 914-6 project. Need to know
where, how many holes, etc do use in the longs to treat the inner
structure; also, where else do you treat the double wall structure?
Am planning on using Por-15 system inside all double cavities as
possible, entire underneath of the car including engine cavity,
trunks, fuel tank, dash area, and interior. Need to know your
thoughts on this matter.
Jeff: First time I heard of interior sealing wax and Wurth Products, will
be checking them out. Thanks for the info.

Do yourself a favor and spray some sort of rust neutralizer in there FIRST and give it ample time to dry.. Not must point is putting wax on top of rust
Scotty, thanks for the input. I do use a rust converter such as 10-20% Phosphoric Acid (or metal etch or jasco, etc.) Let it set for 10 to 20 minutes, and wash out several time air blowing as much out as possible after each washing; then apply a solution of baking soda and water 10-30% to neutralize any remaining acid (may do this several times since I do not leave any potential powder residual); again wash wash several times with water and air blowing after each wash. I then let it dry for several days. It is after this procedure is where I want to use Perry's technique.

as always, the search is your friend ...

some holes are already present, others need to be drilled:
and a translation of the legend:
lThanks, Andy. Just exactly what I needed. In fact, it more than I expected. You are right, the "Search" is your friend. Just expected to get something from Perry with a few holes to drill. Now I have exactly what I need. Again, thanks.
Still owe you a beer or two. Maybe next time I am in California.
