HRM Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 In my new (to me) hangar I found a nice set of clecos and a holder. Problem is, very dirty, a little rust. They all work though. Any suggestions on cleaning and lubing them? Soak in simple green? Spray with WD-40? Give them to wifey for a spin in the washer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy95W Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Big coffee can with mineral spirits. Swish it around every once in a while. Nice find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N201MKTurbo Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 You could stickit in your tow bar hole. But why? Does it keep the virus away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I just knew someone would go 'cockpit humor' on this. It does evoke a notion of some sort of bizarre chastity device, no? That said, it took me quite a while to figure out what it was. Also, we're not talking about the towbar, that's for a Piper, the PO had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Pilotte Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Now I see the frame. That’s a rather flimsy one though. It would not survive the winds of a Chicago area winter. Who am I kidding, it would be stolen well before winter...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
