Electolysis on Nuts and Bolts

[davbell22602]

I need to do electolysis on some OEM rusty nuts and bolts. Need some ideas what kinda tray and electrode do I need for it to work?

As cheap as nuts and bolts are I'd just buy new ones

Got any pics of them? You may not need to buy them from Ford.

This is interesting, I am excited to see this.

I like OEM bolts, I just clean them up in my parts washer.

To make it easier on you dave, I have seen a tumbler deal filled with rocks that vibrates for cleaning your small fasteners. You just throw them in and the come out looking brand new.

You can find those bolts at any hardware store.

As for any unique bolts you can't find at the hardware store? Check through ARP, and the resto parts places. If all else fails, wire wheel that bitch and run a die over it.

In grade 8? Even the big bolt that uses 1 1/8 socket?

I thought about just doing that. Running a wire wheel on them with the electric angle grinder then paint the purple power de ruster then black them black. Then they will look good as new again.

You can find bolts with the same threads but the heads are different.

McMaster-Carr carries a pretty good variety of bolts, including stainless. There are a few places where I plan to use stainless instead of the factory/garden variety hardware store bolts, namely the suspension.

The big one hold the radial arm onto one of the Ibeam suspension and holds the coil spring on too. The little bolt and nut hold the shock absorber on the radial arm.

Go get it Dave, you throw your fasteners in with some sort of media and turn it on. The end result is new looking fastners without resorting to a ton of work.
