    If the logistics of it works out its on the cards I figure if 3 men can lift it It can be loaded onto the trailer.

    Haven't enquired as yet but have been told to expect from $0.76 a kilogram, cannot remember who told me that as it was over a few drinks.

    I have galvanised 2 of these successfully. You get sime rippling of the footwells, tunnel, etc. But the overall structure stayed square (or as square as LR tolerances) in both cases.

    Dobbo - if you find a price like that let me know where it is!!! I used to get $0.90/kg (galvanised weight) from Industrial galvanisers in Brisbane, but the last lot I had done in Perth was more like $1.25/kg.

    Dave - getting a trade rate would give you the best price - any mates work for companies that get a lot of stuff galved?

    Urrrrrgh, don't get me started on that. The first place I went to actually managed to squish my lovely straight bulkhead. It looked like a forklift backed into it. You should have heard the excuses.

    The second place missed a spot on my replacement bulkhead and re-dipped it, badly denting one side while they were at it. But I used it anyway and it's been okay for the last 11 or so years.

    Once again, you need real professionals who care about the work.

    Davo - I am worried about all your bad experiences now I am over this side opf the country. Were these places in Perth or up your way? If in Perth, I would love to have the names (by PM if you prefer) - so I know who to avoid.

    I went to three different places in Perth, but at least, as far as you're concerned, it was over a decade ago. The crazy thing was the galvanisers in Canada who did my present chassis were no different, and that was in 2004!

    I'd recommend grabbing the foreman - or whoever - and getting an explanation of what's needed and telling them what you want. It might not get through to them but it's worth a try. As well as drilling lots of holes!

    Anyway, a PM will be sent . . .
