It matters what type of Stainless you have. Some (17-4) get harder and some (3xx) get softer. Heat can also diminish the corrosion resistance....

Has anyone used "Salt Gone" to keep Bonneville from dissolving your car?
I use "Clydes". https://clydesleathercompany.com/ Very happy with their products. Brings back old leather beyond my expectations.

I have to wonder how much boost you can make with a single, floppy V-belt driving it? Does look cool.
Aerodynamics does not require a wind tunnel. Yarn tufts tell a lot. Easy to do but takes much trial and error. [MEDIA]
[ATTACH] The tread pattern is not my favorite, but this seems like the only reasonable way to get modern tubeless radial performance in this size...
