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.

I thhink I'll bell em and give it a whirl.

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.

Can't you heat them up a bit and quench them in sump oil. Don't think it will weaken them? Tryed and tested method for many a year
