WD40 evaporates quickly but for temporary protection it would suit although I'd use P'Blaster as it leaves a film that does not go away and actually lubricates. That's why it does such a nice job in protecting electrical connections.
Rustoleum Hammered would be my choice for the final paint, especially since you already have it primered. That stuff is a take-off of an old British product called Hammerite that was sold here in the U.S. until VOC regulations got it banned. It is, however, back and Sherwin-Williams stores now carry it. As far as replacement hardware goes, I've always used new Stainless nuts, bolts, washers, etc. along with LocTite Blue (Medium strength) so that disassembling them at some point in the future will be relatively easy. Using LocTite RED usually requires a blowtorch and an Act of God to get them loosened!! Most local hardware stores that carry Hillman or Midwest Fasteners products should be a good source. After I retired I spent 10 years working for a local True Value and their selection was all Midwest Fasteners and rarely was I forced to go elsewhere. Their "Nuts & Bolts" area consisted of two 40 foot aisles lined on both sides with everything imaginable. Good luck.......Jack On 29 Feb 2016, at 11:25, Larry Velez wrote: Any tips on how to move forward from this point would be welcome. I will spray the bracket with rustoleum now that it is primered and I sprayed the fasteners with WD40 for now, but I’m thinking I need something more permanent before it all goes back under the car. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MK2-16v" group.
