No she doesn't, but I learned that lesson, the hard way, many years ago. Both HCl (muriatic acid) and Chlorine tabs can corrode stuff very quickly. thanx for your accurate thoughts. s

Salt and/or bleach will corrode stainless steel.

As Chas said, not just the threads, apply to all contact points.
Also, no matter the mileage, don't go 'too long' without re-applying.
In about 10k miles, no issues.
I just started with the Cobra Valley liquid.....

Anti seize on spinners
 
Hi Bob from Vintage Wheels here.
One of the main problems with many Cobras and other specialty cars is standing time versus driving time. If you own a Cobra you have a very high performance machine that has to be maintained accordingly to keep it safe! Closer to owning a light aircraft than a run of the mill production car.
You should pull your wheels off at least once a year anyway to inspect pads , check for cracked rotors, brake hoses ,insides of tires for damage ,steering joints, wheel bearings etc - no matter how few miles you drive .
When installing pin drive wheels we recommend using a product such as the Cobra anti seize mentioned on one of the earlier posts. Apply an even coat on the spinner and wheel mating surface, spinner threads, drive pins and wheel spigot where it indexes on the vehicle hub.
If you don’t use anti seize you will have problems with galling and corrosion. Also if the spinners are not tightened fully with a LEAD HAMMER they can also gall due to minute movements between the spinner and wheel face.
You should have no problem removing your spinners if you take note of the above but before you start hammering make sure you know which direction to loosen! – remember when standing at the rear of the car looking forwards ,the standard RH right hand thread (which tightens clockwise) is on the left side of the vehicle (drivers side in the US) . Then of course safety wire and insert safety clips if your hub is designed to use them.
There is more information on the tech info section of our web site Vintage Wheels, Hot Rod and Muscle car

Mickmate explained it to me in a way I will never forget - Tight A$$. Always tighten towards the back of the car regardless of which side you are on...
