I plan on doing that eventually but for the moment I normally wear some gloves outside and that solves the ergo issue.

ZT MUDD PICS! w/ review
- Thread starter mmmotorcycle
- Start date
Bringing this one back since I just picked up a MUDD this past Saturday. Got to thinking about what Blademaker, aka Gavin Hawk, had to say about the different aluminum alloys that were used; 6061 on the customs, and 7075 on the ZT's. Found some summarized info about these and thought I would post it for anyone who might be interested.
6061 is alloyed with 1.0% magnesium and .6% silicon. Tensile strength range 20 to 42 KSI. Good formability, weldability and corrosion resistance. Used for engineering and structural applications, boats, furniture, transportation equipment, etc. Conforms to AMS QQ-A-250/11 and ASTM B209.
7075 is heavily alloyed with zinc with lesser amounts of magnesium, copper and chromium. One of the strongest of the aluminum alloys, its use parallels that of 2024 with 7075 selected when higher mechanical properties are desired. Forming operations are limited. Also available as Alclad for improved corrosion resistance. All 7075 flat products conform to ASTM B209; 7075 Bare conforms to AMS QQ-A-250/12, Alclad 7075, AMS QQ-A-250/13.
