Yeah I figured though, happy to keep touching them up though, hate the idea of a massive bare metal chunk hanging at the front of the car.
Painted them up in black killrust paint. Let them dry over the weekend. Stacked up the tyres and made a little rig to hang them from while they dried. (Was going to rain so clothes line was a no go). Worked a treat.
Got it all installed, was a bit of a pain in the ass getting behind the bar without taking it off, but managed.
The recovery points lined up perfectly!
The only thing now, I need to cut a chunk off the bar's bottom blate out... they're too close to the eyelets of the recovery point, so I can't actually get the shackles on!
Defeats the purpose a little.
Will prob cut about 5-10mm out of it, just enough to allow the shacked to fit.
