Ultrasonic first than put into a jar of oil and WD then heated and ultrasonic overnight. Arguably looks better in picture than in person but the method I described does help a bit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could walk there faster and hand it over personally faster than smartpost. My bearing that go lost from Partzilla(I think) went out 'smart post'. Got delivered to a place 20 miles away and was lost. Got it about 2 weeks later after I had replaced it with a local sourced one. Only item I saw ship that way during my build this summer.

_Wilson_™ 6,567 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Quote The bolts after treatment. Basically a lazy black oxide. Decent rust preventer and I like the look sure was a big change.... what method did you use to knock the rust off ? i see some with a good coating of rust...

Arguably looks better in picture than in person but the method I described does help a bit. To elaborate further on what I said above the ultrasonic cleaner is filled with a weak acid solution and degreaser. It cuts a lot of the rust off with acid and the cavitation like effect that the ultrasonic produces. Orange ZEP is a good commercial version of a solution you can make yourself. Citric acid is your active ingredient. What we are doing is stripping the metal of any oxides and then immediately introducing it to a hot and oil saturated environment to cure and for somewhat of a coating to form. That is where the black color came from. In a jar with WD and fresh motor oil they sat in ultrasonic hot bath again for 90 minutes. The finish that you see in the picture is the result of that process. Hot bluing is the best way to do this. If you want black metal parts that is the only way to go unless you are talking paint, powdercoat or cerakote Ill double down and say again that it looks better in the picture than in person. It is not perfect in the slightest. A great way to perfectly clean and semi-polish bolts is a vibratory tumbler filled with stones, ground glass and orange ZEP. It takes a while but they come out looking better than factory if you are going for a semi polished look. I don't have a plan for these bolts and the ultrasonic was already setup for doing other stuff so I just ran with it. There are better ways... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dang man, he shipped the stuff! Not his fault the post office sucks. What would you have him do? Drive to Memphis and demand the package, and then drive it to you? You've been able to track the package. It's not his fault it hasn't been delivered! Got my box of stuff sometime yesterday. Was packed in a heavy plastic tote, with about 30 zip ties holding it shut. Everything inside was individually packed in bubble wrap, and the box filled with those dang styrofoam packing peanuts. 76lbs worth. (packing peanuts have been tossed in the pic, obviously) 4 knuckles, 4 hub/rotors, 3 CV's, a valve cover, a footshifter, footshift spindle, and shift shaft, a winch plate, centrifugal clutch with primary, and carb boot. Everything is exactly as he described it. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
