    Black Body Bolts

    Has anyone used black nuts and bolts when putting the body back on?

    If so can you give me a source, part number etc.?

    Thank you in advance,

    Sorry, I don’t know where you would buy those, but it’s not hard to powder coat your own.

    McMaster-Carr has them. Generally https://www.mcmaster.com/bolts/18-8-...rive-screws-9/

    I've not ordered/used the above but have been thinking about it.

    Black oxide will sometimes rust. Scuff your current bolts and hit them Rustoleum.

    I don't have experience with black oxide 18-8, but on mild steels it's designed to hold a thin surface coat of oil which prevents the corrosion. If you clean them with solvent, that's what removes the oil and allows rust to happen. With 18-8 I'm really not sure the effect.

    Correction - Black oxide will ALWYAS rust. At least here at the beach where I love.
