What would be a good way to store used mechanical parts, i.e clutch, front diff, safely in a basement?

 

aslong you cover the plastic bag or sheet to cover the parts and you will be fine. I did cover my V8s and Tranny with Motor Plastic cover. to keep dirt and dust away. so you will be fine if you cover it

 

I hrow all the stock stuff into a box and then proceed in throwing all that crap into the attic . Out of sight out of mind!

 

Lol kilter! Yea I was a little concerned because I have my stock cat in the basement, without covering it with anything, and its rusting real bad.

 

i just put my stuff in a box in the garage

 

good time to start

garbage bad / tape

 

it's all on metal racks in my basement. it's like my own little ghetto store

check out my sig if there is anything anyone needs...

 

plastic wrap would be good since there's a lot of moisture in the basement to keep your stuff nice and dry

 

Ziplock bags on parts that can rust like the front diff.

 

I keep all my stock parts in my basement.. make sure you run a dehumidifier so it doesn't get really humid and cause everything to rust faster. Or keep it up on shelves incase your basement floods.. that is, if you have to worry about that where you live.
