Darkening original engine bolts...
I searched the Forum earlier today, looking for info about recreating the blackish, "Raven" finish on original engine bolts.
Let me say that I am NOT building a "points car", but would like to come close to correct appearance. I saw some comments about cleaning the bolts ( de-grease, wire-brush ), heating with a torch, then dunking in used motor-oil. Can someone suggest a temperature to heat the bolts to if I were to heat the bolts in a pan, say in the oven or gas-grille (don't tell my wife!) ? It would be a lot more expedient ( and controlled ) to heat a batch of bolts in a controlled manner than for me to do one at time in a flame... Thanks ! Frank |
