Hi Pinky

Interesting, my chassis had plenty of holes already there - does that mean somebody else drilled them or were they there originally? Have you looked for any applicator holes in the chassis?

I think there has been many posts on this subject with regard to where to spray and I suggest you search old posts.

For info, I used a 5ltr tin of waxoyl and a hand operated spray with the 'optional' length of tube which can be screwed on. I think the tin was approx £20, the squirty pump bit about £10 - £15 from local car parts shop.

Hope this helps?

Regards

Rob

You shouldn’t need to drill any additional holes to inject the chassis; the original chassis has more than enough to access all the box sections. You can spray inside the sills through a series of small rectangular holes in the top of the inner sill underneath the carpet.

 

I used a compressor & paraffin gun & flexible adaptor nozzle to treat mine & with my compressor wound up to 150 PSI I was able to spray in one end & watch it come out the other but I also sprayed into every hole I could find; be warned though it gets everywhere!

Quote Richard, 'it gets everywhere'

The wife wasn't very happy when mine left a trail of Waxoil down the drive the first very hot day after it went on the road

At some occasions it's a good idea to temporarily plug up the bottom holes, this mostly prevents trails on your driveway and garage
