RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon Ventilation

[paul slater]

Tried to reply to this subject yesterday, hopefully post will work today. Just to echo Jim’s comment Waxoyl should be kept as far away from fiberglass as possible.   My saloon has a small pipe stub mounted on the bulkhead. There is evidence of there being a pipe on it at some point though nothing is mounted to it now. I presume its a air inlet for the heater in a similar way to the 2+2 that has the much larger air inlet pipe over one of the wheelarches. I will get a photo of the pipe stub     Sent from Mail for Windows 10   From: mgaskin via Quantum Owners Group Sent: 29 March 2021 12:33 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [Quantum Owners] Saloon Ventilation   Hi Bill,   Many thanks for this reassurance.   My Q is absolutely fine further back – the patch is small, only at the front, and only visible on the outside. Next time I need to go somewhere I’ll take a picture, as the car’s parked tight up against the house right now.   Thanks again.   Matthew   From: 'Bill Allison' via Quantum Owners Group <quantumowners@googlegroups.com> Sent: 27 March 2021 8:21 AM To: mgaskin via Quantum Owners Group <quantumowners@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon Ventilation   Matthew   Brown stain only at the front doesn't sound too threatening, much more important from a safety point of view is the area just forward of the 'B' pillar, where the seat belt attaches. Perhaps it will be sufficient in your case, to prevent further deterioration, to block the drain hole below the bottom of the 'A' pillar and temporarily fill the bottom with, say, thinned waxoyl. Capillary action should get it to the stained area. Also, coat inside the steel the full length of the sill with waxoyl (thinned by warming) using the pump and long tubes available for this sort of task. You'll need to drill a hole, say 20mm, into the sill as the two holes for the seat belt mount are too small.   John & Matthew   Brown staining on the fibreglass on the inside below the doors is one sign but a look inside is also necessary because if the member is rotting from the inside you won't see any staining until it has perforated.

I've asked for a logon for the proboards to look at your link.   Matthew     -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
