I'm not sure which loctite will hold at high temps, maybe the green bearing locker? #609 I think.OcchioLungohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036900039415298792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543107864678850704.post-80242632467038749242010-01-28T07:04:15.506-08:002010-01-28T07:04:15.506-08:00I pre polished the bases before having them electr...I pre polished the bases before having them electroless nickel plated. I did not send them to an electro plater. The way that it was explained to me by the plater is that the electroless is somewhat transparent and if the surface is shiny below the plating, you can polish the piece after plating and get a great shine. I was really nervous about some of my bronze repairs showing up through the plating, but they are undetectable which is good. <br />The counter bore is a neat idea, but there isn't much room to spare on spacke cylinders for such a thing. Steve told me to use some super tough loctite when I install the guides for the final time, but I forgot which color he mentioned. I will have to ask him again.Matt Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03252903852173062283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543107864678850704.post-38379460421724865472010-01-28T06:56:04.093-08:002010-01-28T06:56:04.093-08:00Hi Matt.

But they also fit into a counterbore to locate them well and to transmit the heat well. I'll try to email you a photo.<br /><br />On your cylinder plating, did you use electroless plating, then follow it up with electro plating? that works really well, as the electroless will get down into the bottom of the fins, then the electro will give a better high gloss finish on the bigger surfaces.<br /><br />ciao<br />peteOcchioLungohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18036900039415298792noreply@blogger.com
