Hey guys
Keith is right I do tend to spout off about powder coating a bit to much. In this case the shop glass-beaded the housings and then called me and said that it revealed to much pitting with more to come when the units would go into the oven to cook. So the guy offered to take them to his home shop and bondo them and then wet paint them for me. My bad. The brackets came out great though.

Randy:
Are these pieces being made by anyone. If not could I take
an old busted up inner tube and make some. Lastly what would be the result in trying to make a form and have them made out of sheet metal and then reproducing them for others. Was it just the 56 Clippers that had them. My 55 Seniors don't have them or at least I never saw any when I was working on them.
