Clean it up with a wire brush or tap and die. Apply blue thread locker. It will hinder further corrosion.

Finished up my sub box project!
Did a build log here: Jayhovah's fiberglass sub box build log

Hmm... looks like one of my rotors is warped a bit. Question is... to go oem, slotted, drilled, both? Any advantages/ disadvantages?

I've read that drilling rotors is more harmful than beneficial... I'd say if you don't track then go with cheap auto-parts OE replacements.

Looked at it for the first time in two weeks. Contemplating driving it to run a few errands. TBD.

12 mm with a 1.25 pitch. They didn't have any hardened metric bolts so I'll just tap and die this out and hope for the best.

BoneZ · 01-20-2018, 12:48 PM

This looks better.

What battery did you go with?

enkei2k · 01-20-2018, 10:00 PM

Was 50 degrees here in NYC so I did a vac, wash, clay, compound, and wax... didn't polish, clean the glass, and add sealant because I'm getting old and lazy. Will probably get to it on my next day off.
