I'm going to get them powdercoated red. Decision made. Then they'll match the calipers, as suggested by RR.

Had a look at them today on the ramp as I took the ex's shadow blue for MOT (which passed with flying colours, no advisiories) and they still look like new, bright gold, after 6 months.

Make sure the mating surfaces with the chassis / subframe and bolt heads are masked off.

....Yes, Baz - Consoles and bushes.

SuperPro now offer their version which is consoles with a reputably better bushes. My WALK bushes are lasting very well so far.
