I really don't want to recommend a place for you to get your nuts polished at. I think it might be gay? Cascade has them as you said. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Posted March 12, 2007 the ones cascade sells isnt the liped kind... i bought some but today i was cleaning my garage... and sift through my nuts and bolts... the stock nuts polish up very well if u want to spend the time to hold them ahd polish them out...

Is it important to have a flange nut? Can't you just use a washer under the nut? I think I have washers under the nuts on my red bike (I'm not getting up to go look). Are you clear coating the steel parts that you are polishing to keep them from rusting? :cool: Quote

It's pretty safe to say that they are not aluminum. They might be a non-ferrous stainless steel, but I doubt it. :thumbsup: Quote
Bansh-eman Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Posted March 12, 2007 either way it really shouldnt matter casue its not being ridin it water and when i wash it it gets dryed off and wd40 so it should be good... Quote

It's probably not a big deal, you're right. I suppose I am used a more humid environment. Remember: on untreated ferrous metals the oils and moisture from your fingers can cause a part rust where you touched it very quickly even in SoCal (I am not allowed to touch crankshafts in our QC room anymore ).

FireHead Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 lol u clown... i like the statment anymore lol.... Atleast I only have a QC inspector that swats my hand if I try to handle a crankshaft without gloves. The TMG Formula 1 boys have to where fruity white gloves with a funny wrist band every time you enter the QC clean room no matter what you're doing. The reason I got in trouble with one of our QC guys (QC guys are technically under me on the org. chart) was that I had to go give presentation and I needed a prop, so I grabbed a crankshaft out of the QC room. I purposely grabbed an un oiled part so that the excutives I was going to be talking to wouldn't bitch about getting oil on their hands. I had the crank out of the climate controlled QC room for a few hours. When I returned it I didn't think much of it and I set back in line in the QC que. Later in the afternoon, I had a pissed off QC guy (QC folks are a bit eccentric) telling me about how a shop foreman had crawled up his ass for making them run a crank through the polishing process again due to rusty finger prints being on it. I asked the the guy if it was the part that I had borrowed by describing where I grabbed it from. Obviously, it was the part I borrowed. For about a week after there was a sign with my picture on it warning visitors not to touch unoiled or bagged parts without gloves. I think it has been about a year since I did this, and yet I still hear about it atleast once a week. :: Quote
