Hi guys.

Pulled my rear bar of to find the brackets are well rusted. Dont really feel like doin a 500km round trip to get some :stupid:

Should look like this http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r87663738

Also my number plate lights unit is rusted and the lenses are almost dust.

Any help much appreciated:love:

I got 2 spare rear bars here with (what looks like with a quick look) really good condition brackets and number plate light assemblys.

Will check tomorrow in the day and confirm.

we r facing this problem also, what they nedd is

1 - soft sandblasting (not HP otherwise may penetrate them )

2 - galvanizing or primered

3 - painting

this can be applicable to the illumination lens metal cover also

the lens need to be replaced cause they are plastic, unf. they r not glass

the heat of the yellow bulb ( 75 C ) destroy them

keeping an old car and sitting in a coast ( near to see ) area, make the personal small sandblasting machine compolsory to be in your w. shop

let me know hoybo

skyc110 - pretty much will do all the things you said . will nickle plate and paint.

and one fitted glass instead of plastic covers?

On closer inspection, I have 1 set of great brackets, 1 set of average brackets.

Both light assembly's have seen better days, but they are complete and look average.

Let me know if you want a set or some pictures, I live in Brisbane so your happy to come look?

will see when im heading down next but hopefully soon. as long as they arnt as bad as mine i will be happy

I'll upload some pictures later.

I'm doing my number plate lights right now. I'm stripping them down, acid dipping them and then blue zinc coating them. Not sure what I'm going to do with the lenses, mine are stuffed beyond repair.
