Do you replace or reuse rusty hardware?

Thanks, Rg

It's called clear zinc. They also have black and yellow if you prefer. Pretty much any moderate sized urban area will have a plating shop. I found mind through a quick google search and haven't ever bought much new hardware since then. My shop has a 25 dollar minimum charge for the first 25 pounds plus one dollar per pound over 25. You can plate a lot of hardware and widgets for 25 pounds. Four day turn around time.

Calling one tomorrow. I have found out my Permatexing doesn't stop flash rust on at least some of the stuff I have sprayed it on.

I wish I had found out sooner but this is a learning process on my truck.
