Extremely straight - one tiny ding near the lettering that would be fixed with one careful tap otherwise crazy straight and could barely call it surface rust.

All letter have pins but they have some pitting on lower sides of them but not horrible.

Latch works and is pretty solid

The rubber flaps are even there with the original flat brackets I may pull off for mine as the replacements dont come with the plates anymore.

pretty happy - even had a nice drive up to Yarra Glen to pick it up.

Yeah those stinky FB bonnet bars are no good in your shed , if you had any brains at all you would send it to EKMart which is already teeming with FB stinkiness

Hook line and sinker - sadly no bonnet bar with this one - the chap I bought it off was working with someone to fo a cast FB bonnet bar though - would be expensive if they can pull it off

I have been trying to talk a mate of mine who has a Pullmax And a 100 ton press to tool up for FB bonnet bars , tailgate inners and fuel tank tops , he has an FB ute and a windowless FB van so it’s a possibility.....

isnt that phil off here? goes by oz_ek

Oz ek Phil was working on fabricating some bonnet bars but hasn’t been on for a couple of years. Casting not a bad idea Rob. Got a mate put together an aluminium casting setup in his shed. Substation construction sparkies at work have plenty of offcuts.
