Julian,
Excellent refurbish, mate. I really think it looks wonderful. Good job on you.
Mine also was a bit buggered up with DPO duct tape and black
spray paint to hide the mess. I decided to powder coat mine
gun barrel black. Way too much $$ to have a replacement
shipped here.
Bill, like Julian , I stripped it down to bare metal and
used a bench grinder, electric sander, fine grit and really
polished it. Looked nice OUTSIDE the car. Looked terrible
inside the car dry fitted. I powdered it.
Here's mine installed: with a tip-of-the-hat to Frank A
for the splendid brass name plate.
