I want to fit clean nuts and bolts to the suspension leg, tca, ball joint etc.


Ive got all the originals.


What do people do on a restore? Replace with new bolts or get the old ones coated?

I had thought of sticking them through the wire wheel and paintin them satin black, but thats gona come away as soon as the spanner hits them and they will be orange again

Any recommendations or sources to get them welcome. Id like to sort them out in the morning.

Thanks

I just bought new ones from Vauxhall using mostly Corsa B ones. Frost do a nice chemical blacking kit which gives a nice finish which should keep them from going rusty but it's not 100 original style finish.
