    John - If they are just regular parts and not rare/special, I'd
    probably just replace them.  Since they rusted once, unless
    treated/painted well, they will rust again.<br>
    <br>
    That said, I do have a thrifty side too.  I cleaned some special
    bolts with a wire wheel in a bench grinder.  Wrap the finger tips of
    your gloves in masking tape to make them last a little longer.  As
    cheap as I was, I still replaced the washers and nuts.  I they spray
    painted them.  You can also replate with kits from various sources,
    but that was too much effort for my situation.<br>
