Hydrogen embrittlement is mostly only problem with thermal galvanizing. Also keep in mind the tensile strenght, this has impact on the fact you will get hydrogen embrittlement. See also here for some more info: https://galvanizeit.org/knowledgebase/article/hydrogen-embrittlement It’s my understanding that even zinc electro plating can cause it. To a lesser extent, but I did discuss it with a knowledgeable friend. I imagine at the least, dipping in the hydrochloric acid a part of that. These studs are Class 10.9, so not quite the top, but still considered high tensile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD5toV8110 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 With my ghetto plating method, you could just dip the machined surface into the solution. So only the very end of the stud is subject to any witchcraft. Probably...😁 Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d just spray a little paint into the plastic lid and use a modelling paintbrush to touch things up. Kept it smart and tidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post uninformed Posted April 16 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 16 Not much to report. Just fluffing about cleaning up some old 130 rims so they can go on my work trailer, the 130 rims currently on there are the tubeless type and I want them for the 110. I also bought a cheap old drill press. Not old enough to be cool , nothing flash at all but my current set up does my head in as it’s not concentric anymore. Of course I thought I’d give it a bit of a clean…. Next minute I’d stripped it down completely. New bearings throughout etc… and while I was painting rims I figured 🤷🏻♂️ Got a bit bored with all that (still in the middle of it) and figured I’d make a Series 2/2a door mounted mirror hinge lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkfloyd Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Very well executed!! Some good work in that. Its just a shame these smaller parts can't tell people how much time and effort went into making them 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninformed Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Thanks guys, they are just copies of the originals LR use to make. Part number 346377 for LHS. They aren’t cheap and pretty hard to find these days, so figured it easy enough to make them. Here is an original LHS 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
