I assume you mean the outside of the barrels blasted to remove paint and crud? Not the liners blasted!

I’m sure I’ve asked them before when they did my first of 3 bikes they said I should have had them cleaned first asked if they could for me but they said no so I’m sure they don’t ☹️

There is a company somewhere near me I saved on facebook I could ask, and get the cases done at the same time I guess. Nothing better to do so I thought I would start putting an engine together, then figure out what it's going in next! |

Right now a bot restricted in getting my cylinders blasted before sending them for a rebore Cheers Dave I wanted my cylinders re boring from a 350 air cooled (250e conversion) and they told me that the best pistons to use was from an PV 350 - wtf. Beware that they may try to fob you off with their "expert knowledge" on pistons and give you the PV piston, which is fine if you have a PV, maybe not so if you have a 4L0 |

Are the barrels powder coated or just old paint? Could they be vapour blasted?

When they did my 350lc a year ago they supplied the exact right positions without being asked . People are saying they don’t because a guy had his done by a third party and not direct by Grampian and the third party gave him a fob off but I think from memory Grampian sorted the problem out for him ? I know so many guys in my area who have used them and can’t fault them only my take on them

Maybe you could send them to Andy to get blasted, then he could send them to Grampian for you??
