evallejo Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hey guys, I just got some Mcgaughy's drop spindles for my truck, and I just took them to get powdercoated. Won't get them back for a week, so I can still call them if I need to give them any special intructions or anything. Anyways, are the tolerances pretty tight on these? Should I have them coat everything but the holes, or will it be OK to just coat the whole thing but the threaded hole? What about the (shiny) part of the face, the triangular part with the three holes, should this part be covered or can it be coated? This is kinda hard to describe, so if I'm not being clear let me know. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTMD8R_SS Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I painted the whole thing. If you dont coat the triangular shiney part in about 1 rainy day it wont be shiney no more lol. Just get everything coated IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I powdercoat these on a regular basis, the only thing they need to plug are the threaded hols in the top. That is where the bracket for the break line attaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I told them to only worry about the threaded hole up top, but after looking through some other posts, I noticed the some didn't spray paint the holes, so I got kinda worried considering that powdercaoting is a bit thicker than a coat of spray. Thanks for the responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
