To keep it looking good, you should wipe it down with some WD-40 after each run. Otherwise it'll start to rust. Some high temp paint will work, as well. But you lose that sweet raw look. Personally, I like to see the welds and the metal.

I just measured it its 3mm by 17.5mm but 18 would be better. The pin goes in the aluminum holder for the gears right? There's 3 of them under your gears that is if its the 4 pin set up. I have so many issues with that. I jb welded mine in and one pin slid out on one side. Think holder is worn haha

thanks rcdad i don't think i would do it again the mill scale and welding scale was a pain in the a$$ to get off i made a scotch brite wheel for my polishing wheel set up it worked good but took a hour and a half to get it to where i wanted it. nickel plating comes out what ever the base metal looks like
