also jan ,why do you paint them black?
I think you're right. I have some NOS pipes and they have gloss black paint on them. It will burn off. Obviously, they didn't have the ceramic HT paint technology like we have now.I am guessing that the paint was just there to protect it in transport and storage.

I haven't seen brass washers, but the nuts holding the pipe on mine were brass. They were about twice the depth of normal nuts. Didnt help with mine because when I bought it all 4 studs had been broke off.
