So...my "While I'm at it" list of stuff to buy is getting quite long...I'm trying to save one of those $18 orders that with shipping turns into $35because there's nothing else to order from that vendor on the list right now...
So...I ceramic coated the manifold and it's a beautiful tungsten gray now.
The old manifold bolts- and those spider-like lock washers around them. They are a nice rusty-red, but functionally seem just fine.
First of all the finish of the new ones is "natural" so what exactly does that mean? Will they look just like the old ones by next year?
If I clean up the old ones..they look pretty nice (see the pic for old vs new)- maybe even nicer than the new ones- sort of an antique look. Any kind of rust preventative that will work on these at all?
(fyi, I spent lunch Tuesday at Tacoma Screw and bought quite a few new bolts and screws...but they didn't seem to have these.)
