Starting Another Red SSP Restore
« on: December 26, 2017, 04:37:53 PM »
I scored this red SSP a few years ago and used it a few times then parked it covered in the backyard. My modified 2014 Performer is my workhorse.

I gave it a good scrubbing, and now my goal is to make it look brand new.

First thing I went to work on was replacing the ash sweeps and polishing up the bucket assembly.

After clean up:

Envious of those of you that can get that kind of finish on your ash buckets!  Looking good kid!

Looks great. I need one of those older ash catcher holders for my SSP.  Mine rusted out. Anyone here remaking them

Better question; anyone know where to source the Ash sweepers for the SSPs. Weber says they have no parts

Nice restore. Looks good!  On my Red SSP Restore, I replaced the sweep with a newer style one. I did have a spare ash bucket holder bar/bracket to use.  Look up my restore if anyone is interested in what I did. Not sure what I did at this moment.
