Exhaust nuts ~ Chromed?

Is there any point in getting the finned exhaust nuts chromed or does this point get too hot for chrome plating?

Thanks

Gooday Stillreel,

Pic is of exhaust nuts chromed about 8 years ago. Pipe is a little blue but nuts are fine after 10,000 miles



Cheers

You're absolutely right about the need to use part numbers. Generally my normal conversation is peppered with 04- and 06- sequences.

You're wrong about the stiff upper lip though , Old Boy. I attacked a very decent bottle of Caol Ila at about 19.30 hours and I'm only capable of dribbling and rambling by this time in the evening.

If we're discussing Norton specifics, their parts books from the 1920s and 1930s refer to bolts and screws as "pins" . I've never come across this as a term for threaded fasteners in any other context and wonder if this is some sort of Black Country dialect term ?

I don't recall the term "pin" used in reference to a bolt before----could be as you said---some sort of Birmingham slang of years past. Now if you'll excuse me, the Guinness is calling me---afternoon here so just beginning my session. Nice chatting--cheers.

Actually, not meaning to be argumentative here Mr. Hobot, but the fork "nuts' you have refered to here are called "Fork Top Tube bolts"--I recon due to the same Brit engineer who named the exhaust lockring. Maybe this is why some folks receive the wrong parts when they place orders to vendors in England with out supplying the part numbers---just as thought.

fmj, maybe ya missed my spoofing on the terms and semi-quote marks around nuts and did call em bolts. I'm confused just not on this fastener subject. P/N's from the good book get me what's needed.

Glad to see my guess that chromed "roses" stay chromy.
