Geez Geoff You sure set a high standard in Tenere restorations.

That was one of my mistakes Geoff was not plating them bits like you did, it wasn't until i moved to the humidity of the east coast that i noticed bits starting to rust, over in WA its a dry climate & things generally don't go rusty, not the case in sub tropical Queensland.

Mezo.

Mezo, with your now famous reputation for getting stuff at rock bottom prices you'll need to start chasing titanium bits, which just 's at humidity, for the Tenere's.

Years ago I lived in Bougainville and the only way we kept the rust at bay was to douse everything in diesel. It gave our clothes a real nice sheen and made us smell real fine too.
Funny part was anything that didn't have a dick wouldn't come within cooee of us.

Seriously though, perhaps you should look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroless_nickel_plating
It's a bit exy but it's tougher than Chuck Norris, it'll outlast cockroaches and is as easy as teflon to wipe clean.

WOW!!

Good question Geoff & the answer is i dunno

But i will see if i can find out, it may be a case of using the Greasemonkey plugin again.

Mezo.

Multiquote has been here all the time Geoff.

But its sorta hidden & not very user friendly, from what ive been reading they are working on a simple Multiquote button next to the Quote button that`s there. (hey Wadya expect this is free forum software)

When you hit "post reply" look down under the smileys & you will see a "topic review" click that and then you can multiquote.

Mezo.
