I would get an accurate date on there, especially if these are coming from Russia with 15 posts from you. You have to do everything you can to make people feel good about this transaction.

Whats wrong with Russia? You can order from Yperion reseller in US if you want,but bit more expensive.Please check Yperion Titanium products ...
Im ready to pay paypal fees,so there is no need to talk about problems with transaction.Its 100% insured.If you dont need this please just pass,if you need,I will make any picture you need etc.

For someone trying to sell a product, you won't supply a photo with current date to make people feel comfortable, your actions/comments will make people more uncomfortable to deal with you. Why are you so defensive?

Because you only have 17 post in here no history of selling something with a feed back is why.

Let me ask you this then on the other hand you ship them to me free and if they are what you are telling every one in here I will send you a paypal as a friend and family.. How does that sound to you.. Robert

hmmm, not usable in the snow belt states. I can't accurately see the interface between the metals, but two dissimilar metals in a wet salty environment will immediately begin to corrode lock shut due to galvanic corrosion. Here's an example with 2 metals;an electrochemical reaction occurs in the presence of an electrolyte ...in our vehicle case it will be salty water. Has the OP performed field tests, or Salt Spray tests on assemblies?

Are you kidding? Why do we use paypal? Yes,right,because it offers 100%insurance.There is no risk for your side. Im ready to pay fees and dont understand why should I go for this stupid risk sending you parts without payment.
If you are not sure that quality is good enough,please check Yperion Titanium .If you like the product and believe that this is what you need,order with confidence.

Sorry,please send this question to Yperion Titanium.You can order dlc,ti-n and micro ARC coated studs from them..As for titanium alloys and corrosion : you will find many positive feedbacks in internet.Im sure even from people from your state...

By the way: poggipolini makes OEM titanium fasteners for Pagani, Mclaren, Ferrari, Bugatti and Porsche. Do they have this galvanic corrosion I wonder?I think that you can also make a topic here about titanium fasteners galvanic corrosion ....it could be a better decision than to talk here in "for sale".I have nothing more to say than : please ask Yperion Ti. about this chemical issue.Or maybe Tikore(famous brand from US).

No conspiracies here. You're getting some good advice from veteran members telling you why your product listed for over 2 years hasn't sold. Update your pictures if you want some chance to sell these, if not, just continue to argue back because that will make it better?

why? please enlighten me on the need for anti seize. And can these nuts be used on standard studs or do you need both?

The science says NO. Dissimilar metals, erratic torque/tension, tendency to gall, the last thing you want is to apply a lube to a critical joint in a vehicle. Remember this: easy on, equals easy off regarding free running nuts. This type of hardware is strictly for F1 racing, Rally racing, etc.... Not for daily driving. It is used to minimize unsprung weight as much as possible. Won't mean a damn thing to us.

$$$frumnuttin has always been a technical expert on science and technology here on the forum, so I tend to take heed to anything technical or science related as he backs things up with factual data and science!

When we say ti...we have to remember that there are 100's of ti alloys with 100's of heat treatment types.All oem nuts are coated in fact.When we order non coated titanium alloy nut there is a galling risk for sure,but steel nut has the same problem if we use it crossing torque nm limits(oem manual would help to find exact torque) or twisting it too fast without paste.
This is why we can see coated oem steel studs.
If you want to protect your fastener from issues,I advise to check Xylan (same as Nascar) or DLC (as in f1) coated lug nuts from Yperion Titanium.

There is a good article about anti seize paste and about Poggipolini fasteners.They make OEM titanium fasteners for Ferrari,Porsche,McLaren,Bugatti etc...
Its easy to find that test...In fact,good paste plays dramatic role in load distribution(between thread turns),this is not a question of galling only.
Please: lets talk about item that I want to sell here.If there is a question,please send questions about condition,shipping,payment etc,If you want to talk about galling problems,comparison tests with steel etc...please find a topic for this deal.This is "for sale" topic.
