The new bolts came in this weekend and I managed to get time sunday to finish things up.
I used some Rustoleum to paint everything and also fabbed up a licence plate relocation bracket. Its ugly but functional it was VERY hot and I just wanted to get done. I am sure I can improve on it someday.
I used a thin piece of steel I picked up from lowes and just bent it by hand to a rough shape drilled some holes and mounted it up. I added a piece of rubber tube to the the back of the bracket behind the licence plate to keep it from scratching the paint and rattling around.
I still need to relocate the light for the plate but I rand out of time.
Here's a few pics sorry for the bad lighting it was early on my way out the door to work this morning, once again I didnt finish it up till well after dark last night.
I painted the stuff outside my apartment door on a balcony in a bucket lined with a plastic drop cloth from the hardware store. It worked pretty well, it was hard to get to all sides of the parts of course I had to wait for a coat to dry then flip and do the other side repeating that process 3 or 4 times. Then dragged the bucket into my apt and put it in the bathroom with the vent fan on for a few hours to let it dry. I really half assed the paint job to be honest I barely took the time to remove stickers on the parts. But if needed I can always redo it later. Wanted to get some paint on there before heading to the beach this weekend the salt would the bare metal alive lol.
