Can anyone recommend a vapour blaster near London? Have to get my cylinder head cleaned before welding it.
Cheers,
Rod

Cheers Foz, I heard about this bloke, John Andrew. I've been doing a translation for the Vincent Owners Club and his name came up. Don't like going south of the river, but he is open on Saturday morning so I will give him a ring.
Cheers,
Rod.
