Re: Zinc Phosphateing of Hood Hinges, Catches, etc
[ QUOTE ]
Rick, I have found a product that is called Evaporust... available at Autozone it will remove rust and leave bare metal, however it will not harm paint, phosphate, any plating, etc. It runs about $7.00 a pint. I used it extensively on the black 69 Z... I would remove nuts and bolts and then just soak them in it over night... remove them and then coat with cosmoline. The evaporust seems like it is very close to http://www.safestrustremover.com/before-after.asp [/ QUOTE ] I am going to check this out too. Thanks J! Rick nice pictures... this is a great subject. Here are the hinges from my 26,000 mile '70 Camaro.  -Dan

Re: Zinc Phosphateing of Hood Hinges, Catches, etc
Dan,
Are those a series of XXXXX's where the part number should be? I have never seen that before. Interesting. Rick H.

Re: Zinc Phosphateing of Hood Hinges, Catches, etc
I have not seen any virgin hinges with the blue paint, was that a inspection mark from the hinge vendor or was it done on the line ?? cool picture

These were likely done by the hinge vendor. Somewhere I have a close up shot of the mark and it looks exactly like the hinges shown above. 70 DH Camaro Rick

Re: Zinc Phosphateing of Hood Hinges, Catches, etc
My bet is...the blue marks designated the sample piece and were marked after being pulled for quality control. Probably not found on every part...just some within the run. Typical in MFG...
 Are right and left marked? It would not make sense to check every part made......  Steve

Re: Zinc Phosphateing of Hood Hinges, Catches, etc
I think you will be EXTREMELY happy with the Evaporust... I was not expecting too much, but after seeing the results I soaked the carb in it as well. (Before the rebuild) It works as well on Aluminum as it does on steel...
I believe that I am going to buy 5 gal or so of the Safestrustremover after using the evaporust... it appears to be one in the same.

Re: Zinc Phosphateing of Hood Hinges, Catches, etc
If it works as well as you say and leaves my original phosphate and blue paint marks, I'll leave them alone and use them as they are.
That is if I can get people to stop asking if I want to sell them.  Rick H.
