It will take me about 20 minutes to get the finish to be reflective, then another 10 to make it look like chrome, but it will be done. I've already got steel bolts in there. The OEM J and L bolts are OK for water bottle cages, not much else. Next time I get to Fastenal, I'll pick up some stainless bolts.
Hey, what is your method of polishing out bike parts such as this. Thanks 👍🏻👊🏻
