More nuts and bolts


While waiting on the mail service to bring parts that have been ordered, time was spent restoring hardware. Not very exciting, but this needed to be done.

The focus was on the mounting hardware for the lower A-arm, since it's next to be restored.

The nut plate and bolts were rusty, but after they were media-blasted it turns out they were in really great condition and restored easily.

The front nut plates are intended to be left uncoated, but to keep them from rusting these were electroplated and then quickly washed with black oxide to give them a more natural appearance.

The bolts were blasted, polished and electroplated as original.

The hardware for the rear mounts were Parkerized and electroplated as original.
