    Give them to me and ill install them ASAP so they don't rust?



    I think most guys just rub wd40 or some kind of oil on then I'm not mistaken.

    i would soak everything you just bought in wd-40, and then bag it all. everything in your pics can rust. keeping them indoors in a climate controlled area is a good idea too.

    if you were storing them for longer i'd recommend a vacuum bag, one of them food savers deals.
