Has anyone here built their own "bubbler"style parts washer?
I modify transmission tail housings and usually I can take them to work and put them in the automatic Cuda hot parts washer, but more frequently I get housings in at the end of the week and have to wait til Monday to take them to work. I got 4 in yesterday and just can't wait til next week to clean them. I need to get them modified and sent back out out to the customer.
I picked up a nice parts washer about a month ago for $75 and it works pretty well. I can get a small 5 spd in it to knock most of the grease off it, but it's labor intensive. Most of the time I just get the tail housings and need them to be clean before I bead blast them.
A 5 gallon bucket would almost be big enough to do it. I could put a tail housing in and then flip it over. I'm using Zep 505 and it works pretty well. Easy to get ahold of and not too expensive.
Here is a pic of the parts washer I got. Maybe it could be converted to a bubbler.
