there is no subsitute for original fasteners. the tumble method for cleaning works best after they are disassembled. to get them apart try this little trick. mix acetone and automatic transmission fluid 50/50. stir and put in a squirt oil can or plastic spray bottle. you will never waste your money on other penetrants again. after all is disassembled, cleaned and dry, invest in a plating kit available thru a good jewelry supplier. you can plate in zinc, cadmium, nickle and chrome. its not as expensive as ya think.
