This may be unnecessary and/or ridiculous but I found same brand Marshall that I will be using for my old Marshall regulators

Go with what works. FWIW I had bought some real "el-cheapos" of those and I had a couple of them fail. They would not pass gas. I know it seems ridiculous but I never had a Mr Heater fail and I know those Marshall ones would not either

Great way to save the ones that still have the quick connect fitting on them, and why not use original parts?

Looking great Steve! Can’t wait to see the final product! Wish I could see it in person because I appreciate the attention to the details as well!

 

[Steve Hoch]

I know I couldn't be the only one that saves these and reuses them.

One of the easiest pieces to makes look great, quickly. Except I’ve shot many of those R clips into orbit with a wire wheel on the bench grinder

I just rub the clips on sandpaper, good enough for those.

I soak them in the members mark grill cleaner for a couple days, strain them and scuff pad them. Look brand new.

Sounds like a good way of doing it too.

What’s your process for the Clevis Pins? They look outstanding.

I just put them in my drill chuck, wrap a small piece of 150 grit sandpaper around it and spin them until they are clean and shiny.

I do the same, except with a scotchbrite pad.

Got the first coat on the end caps. It's looking a little uneven at this point so another coat is going to be needed.

Nope I always do too

I wish someone would make and sell SS pins. They would so easy to manufacture for a metal shop.

I am sure the original pins are zinc plated/galvanized plain steel. By spinning them in a drill like that, I would think you would wind up removing most of that plating and open them up to even faster rusting in the future. But, to be honest, I do the same. I don't know of any reasonably priced sources for new ones.

I’ve thought about that too. I’ve painted few silver, out of boredom, but that won’t last for

Are those the same size as for a genesis silver B/1000

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Polish them up and they will stay nice for a long time.

Have you used those before? I know the Weber ones are 1/4 x 1 1/2 in.

 

[Steve Hoch]

I found these on eBay that are stainless in the right size. Kind of a big upfront investment for such a minor part though.https://www.ebay.com/itm/2357261114...ZAKmeEhTh6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
