0TreeLemur Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 Howdy- as shown in the photo, our bird has some rusty camloc's in her cowl. Treat and paint? Replace? What are my options? It seems that getting that rust off before painting would require removal. So, if that's needed, it seems that replacement of the central piece would make sense. I've never replaced them- is that hard, and any recommendations on the part number to order? Thanks!

carusoam Posted March 17, 2020 Report Posted March 17, 2020 The sky facing ones collect water and slowly rust out making them hard to loosen... Stainless is a one for one replacement.... My M20C went all stainless over the years... Best regards, -a- 2
