It's nice to meet you
wow !!your bikes down in yokosuka are so rusty, you get way more salt air then we get up here in suburban toyko.
I also love your bike dumping area ,wow lot's of old school english road tourers with rod brakes!
I wished i could get one just for fun ,but the sign said , restricted area.
so i went on my way back to the navy lodge.

i had this problem too. all i did was i got some silver enamel & painted the inside of each hex bolt with a drop each. you can't tell as it matches perfectly & makes the bolts look like new...
