...for third party modular steel wheels like the Gojos that the original VW hub caps / centre covers for steel wheels will clip to. https://www.rimstyle.com/b-60-z-fc-wheel-bolt-60-degree-tapered-seat-zinc-floating-collar---m14x1-5-l37mm-19hex.html I can't believe how much time I've wasted on...

...to rust. I feel very sure that they are NOT stone chips (I have a number of stone chips on the bonnet). VW garage is saying that even if it was zinc inclusion (rather than stone chips aka "outside influence") that this wouldn't be covered by the 12yr corrosion warranty as it is a paint issue...

...plates topic, that ones that mount behind the tailgate hinges I'll be fabricating some plates to suit the hinges and send them off for hot dip zinc galvanising I noticed they're quite pricey, around £36 pair off eBay for OEM parts, If anyone is missing these on their van get in touch, I...

Had a little look and the main bits seems to zinc inclusion and not the rust I have. Just means I'll be checking my van closely for the zinc bubbles now. Oh VW!!!

Dometic chrome and zinc plating is absolute crap. Sink hinges especially, on my second set at £80 a pop. Avoid caustics, acids and obviously abrasives. The parts cost a fortune, you are better off stripping it down and re-finishing it youself.

...The previous owner had let them pit badly to the inners external but I was happy to take a punt on them for winter wheels so had them blasted, zinc coated and powdercoated chrome. In the pictures, you can still see where the pitting was leaving a ripple type effect after powdercoating. I can...

So they do but it's often not covering these things. They also don't cover zinc reaction corrosion damage which I have spotted on one location on the sliding door. Also another location to watch out for is the plastic blanking panel that sits behind the sliding door cover panel. After around...

The zinc anodes on ships hulls are sacrificial. They don't stop corrosion, they are a more reactive metal than the steel hull, so they corrode before the hull does. They need replacing regularly.

Thanks, @Stay Frosty - only just seen your reply

Yes, I meant they stop the hull corroding. This was on the GCSE specification as an example of reactivity series.

...pretty chunky and sprung loaded, like a finger lopping mouse trap but looking how the hinge attaches to the bed rails with some chunky bright zinc bolts you might be able to "shim" the hinge front bolt and the two bolts at the back to alter this angle but then the "bed" will probably have a...

...was welding, then worried about the heat damaging the floor, so pretty much ruled that out. Good point about galvanic corrosion (don't they put zinc blocks on metal hulls to stop corrosion?) Had not thought of riveting, but a possibility worth considering. Sikaflex a duct end cap is looking...

...Bought a few different lengths, prior tp strip down, from these nice folk: https://www.kayfast.co.uk/view-product/POZI-PAN-SELF-TAPPING-SCREWS-ZINC-PLATED But after stripping down this was the length of the internal screw (sadly can't remember what size the other 2 were - sorry): Good...

Hi Droneshadow - so I’m now stuck on removing the fitting kits. Same issue as you - bolts corroded to the threads and just spinning as you described. Mind if I ask what you did to get the fitting kits out?

...EVs) mining in china and other places? Also the catastrophic damage to the mangrove shore lines in Indonesia for the mining of nickel (or was it zinc) also highly used in EVs. Whole villages and the way of life of thousands of Indonesia's poor are being swept away. Then the coastal errosion...

M6 x 1 bright zinc passivited

Most VW OEM bolts tend to be geomet coated but bright zinc plated (bzp) will be fine. They are likely to be std metric size threads. Generally, it is only seatbelt fixings that are non metric on European cars - these are often 7/16 UNF. Being a hoarder I have a large box of surplus / recovered...
