Just reminding myself why I bought new straps.

Just add salt to taste!

All I can say, looking at the old one is:

My goodness the old one looks scary
And dangerous

 

[gookah]

loads of life in that yet.... are you selling it?

 

[Grumps]

Yep that's done lol!

I'd be tempted to treat the new one to a protective coat of something so it doesn't go the same way. Por-15 maybe.

I know it seems sad when it's brand new. But unless they've changed the way they make them it will go bad at some point !

Exactly my thoughts. Its a part that just does not get seen again once its installed, especially as it near impossible to remove and install unless you have the beam removed. Thanks to Lee and the gang I now have that opportunity!.

I would, but pick-up only, sending such a delicate item in the post would probably reduce it to dust!

Sell it as a self assembly kit, @gookah likes a challenge...

 

[Nodzed]

That was a good move

Powder coating? A tad extreme perhaps on the cost front though.

Not necessarily. £30 from the right place at a guess.

But bear in mind how old these things are. Will you/me still have these cars in another 20 years?

Tony.

ps. I might treat them to a coat of decent paint but nothing more.

True, some maybe.
