Interested in a pile of original hardware, bolts, clips, clamps, etc. so long as most of it isn't pitted or damaged.

Thank you

It's only because I love cleaning parts........AH HECK NO! I have a good system and still must spend at least 10 minutes on just a bolt...............

Wash & brush off excess >
Paint remover as required >
Brush & wash
white vinegar as required >
Brush & wash
baking soda soak as "required" (overkill, but I do use it after any acid) >
wash >
blow dry >
soak in WD-40, generally for days, if not weeks

>
final brushing & wipe "clean">
degreaser soak >
wash in dish washing liquid & a good rinse>
Blow dry >
Hair drier

That's phase one. Phase two is when they're plated................. Yikes
