I wish I spent more time detailing when I done mine…I ended up rebuilding pistons and everything so bypassed the detailing mostly :roll: . This looks cracking!!! When I done mine I struggled to take the flywheel off as it kept turning… I done the same as you with the pressure plate though which made it easy….. how did you remove the flywheel, any tips?

Now this is the clever part, the freshly zinc plated bolts are immersed into a zinc blackener solution until uniformly black

and in the middle of the same process
So far happy with the results of the yellow zinc, but with the black, i was told this was only OK for internal parts.
![:banghead:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images_custom/ocf_emoticons__BangHead.gif)
Is this why you are using WD40?
I started to go down the silver, or stainless, route for bolts, but would prefer to have a good solution for black.
Keep the updates coming 8)
