Re: Rusty No More: How to upgrade your license plate screws.
Nicely done Ian. Shows attention to detail. Much better looking than rusted bolts.

Re: Rusty No More: How to upgrade your license plate screws.
Nice tip! Of course, if you can get a Security Torx bit at Lowes, so can anybody else! OTOH, a Security Torx Plus (five lobed) bit? Somewhat harder to get... But because it's the same type of fastener used for airbags, successful thieves always carry them around as well.
I've mentioned before that I try to keep an assortment of stainless screws and bolts on hand to replace rusty ones on any of the cars I do.
