Before and After - Cavalier 51

[Ken R]

Something that is a rust inhibitor, right?  Primer will cover it, but not stop it.  Ever hear of a product called "asfo"?  Have been told about it buy those that work on cars, many years ago though.  I guess so long as original paint is not stripped, then primer is not necessarily needed, only on those parts that bare metal is exposed...??  I really appreciate the information and will be using it quite soon!!  Thanks.

Very very nice! I PM'd you about some specifics on the cooling system cleaning and painting. Please respond if you get a chance. Thanks! Again, great job!

Hey nice job on that c-51 ! Just picked up my first machine and it's a c51 needs a ammo belt and every thing that goes with it. Do you have any Idea where I might come across one ?

                              Thanks, Dan

Hello Dan

Welcome to the site.. The ammo belts do appear occasionally on eBay along with the rollers etc.. They fall into the hard but not impossible to find category.
Hopefully one of the members here will have one they can part with.

Hi Dan
Welcome aboard!!

With the 51, Ive noticed that from time to time a 51 in desperate need of restoration comes up for sale with all parts intact, at a price that would be cheaper than just buying the belt and parts with it.

Patience is the key, as it might pop up today, or it might take several months.

Either way, you have now slipped into the world of machine addiction lol

ENJOY
And keep us posted!!

Thanks for the compliment, Dan, and welcome aboard.  Like Dave said, they do appear on eBay from time to time.

Great job on the c-51. I just finished one myself. I had to really work on the ammo belt on mine to get it looking good.
A lot of polishing. Yours looks fantastic.
