Hello all, new member here.
Heavy, flaking rust on the flanges and nuts; lighter rust on the studs but still not great. The pipes just have autosol-curable surface rust. Picture here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D4gwSo_m6BejKZToSQXJsJQmavAz3_mh/view?usp=sharing
What do you suggest for the flanges and nuts?
1) Clean them up, apply Kurust or similar, then VHT anti-corrosion paint. Not aesthetically the best, but the paint will only be on the connecting joints so it won't be terrible. Have done this on an old car and it sort of works.
2) Replace the pipes with some in decent condition from ebay/bike breaker, plus stainless steel nuts and studs. I understand the risks of snapping studs - I'd get this job done professionally.
3) Leave them alone.
4) Any other ideas?!
All advice and warnings much appreciated!
Cheers
