Yes,it's the one I was trying to find when you phoned. Seems to be the easiest to use and with the least harmful chemical content. That kit gives you all the stuff,degreaser etc.

sounds like a good un
clivey just putting forth a method that Chrylser might have used.
sounds like its a bit industrial for home use though from what everyone else says
de rusting can also be accomplished by tumbling the nuts and bolts
although what that does to the thread i don't know
you would have to lash up somthing akin to those tumblers they use for polishing stones.
i used the method with some scrap nust n bolts to clean out a lambretta fuel tank
tank came up clean and the nuts n bolts did as well

Hmm, missed this thread so you probably are all sorted, but just in case......
- Yes, phosphoric acid (e.g. Jenolite) is pretty good at removing rust and will also leave quite a nice black finish. Cheap and easy.
- The DIY cold blacking kits will work well. I have one and have used it on a number of parts. I used KoolBlack, available here http://www.modelmakingsupplies.co.uk/gl ... ting2.html
- Plating - if you can find someone to plate them black nickel it will be a lot more durable. All the phospate-type coatings will eventually show some rust. I am about to get a LOT of nuts/bolts plated (mostly not black) and I have just taken a lot of labelled photos to make sure I know what is what when I get them back. I did this before and it worked successfully.
