So I nail down a trade, in which I get some lightly used RPM Preload collars and an RPM gear cover
happy day for me! Then I start to clean as usual--end up going somewhere and forgetting about them in the solution for about 2 hrs--Look what I found when I got back
This is what happens with RPM parts immersed in hot bleach, this is not what I was using but the effect was the same

Awesome build, Reg! Are those servo mounts RPM parts as well or custom? They look like AE 7336’s, but I can't recall seeing them in white before.
I had a similar experience with RPM parts that were left soaking for a while, except mine turned green. They were in laundry detergent and some bleach and they turned sort of a glow-in-the-dark green. I thought they were ruined, but I built the car anyway. Eventually, they lost most of the green tint and came out looking pretty good.

Very nice work Reg, sexy car! The only thing you need to get is a better gear cover, that one is a bit off white. We all need to find Reg a new white RPM gear cover! Then he can sell me the old one for my runner!

I bleached a set of team car rear hubs once, and they turned bright yellow! and after about 2 months of sitting they came back--the gear cover is only a touch darker than the new parts and
it should lighten up after a month or so. And the servo mounts are AE 7336's from an early B2-and
I have one more set left for another build
