nuts and bolts?
i have left all the hub/carrier bolts and caliper bolts in a deox c tank, ive left it to do its work for 48 hrs and removed them today and cleaned them up and theyve come out looking almost new, my question is can i spray them with any sprays that i can put on them to keep them from rusting again ie- paint or laquer i was hoping to do it before replacing so will need to be durable. Dont really have the time to go down the plating route so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks

I would spray some primer on the bolts. This will stop them rusting for the time being. When you put them back on, the primer will be damaged but it’s no big deal – just brush paint the heads with some hammerite smooth or better still, 2K paint.
To be honest, I would concentrate on removing rust from the shell rather than nuts and bolts. Have a look at my S13 thread

little update i managed to drop the sub-frame and diff last night will post some pics up shortly ive spent 3 hours wirebrushing, grinding and deox-ing the subframe but am having trouble getting in all the tight corners so if anyone has any tips it would be appreciated! also when buying new rear camber and toe arms ie from apex are they supplied with bolts etc as ive snapped two from the toe arms i believe they have got washers with offset holes and a groove in the bolt otherwise does anyone know a decent supplier to get them from? thanks

you wont need to use the original bolts that account for adjustment as you arms will be the adjustables now, just pop to a fixings shop and get some high tensile strength nuts and bolts.
