I try to find unplated nuts, to remove the cad or zinc plate I buff them, Muratic acid is supposed to remove it after soaking for a few hours. I use My Unibit to make a tapered hole just smaller than the nut hex size . I use a long bolt and screw the nut on the end. I tap the nut into the hole and square it up, carefully weld the nut to the tubing, let it cool, remove the bolt, clean out the thread with a tap, grind smooth if required. |
