Andy A Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Anybody going aero or brooklands this winter with black bits coming up for grabs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 tried this myself, no joy. But Nick Chan suggested powdercoating the current items, and that worked brilliantly Add a black set of lights and the exhaust guard and you've got a full black pack for a lot less than CC wants for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy A Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hmmn. I think I vaguely recall a thread (and probably dismissed it as "even more work"!) The ali stanchions would powdercoat OK. The surround is chrome. Would they powdercoat? How hard is it to get a screen in and out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornholio Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Is it a heated or non-heated screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Chan Posted November 22, 2006 Area Representative Share Posted November 22, 2006 Andy, The screen surround is also alloy and powdercoats fine too. Very easy to remove the glass from it. If you remove the screen from its stanchions and move aside the rubber sealing strip on the base piece, you will see two screws that when removed allow the base section to be removed from the surround. The difficult bit it getting it all back together when a second pair of hands makes it a bit easier to juggle with the slippery seal (use a bit of fairy liquid) Gulf Blue - it doesn't make any difference whether its heated or not if you are careful HTH Nick Now the Orange HPC - A 2.0 VX - 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy A Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Thanks for the info Nick. Sounds reasonable. I will have a long think... Plenty of time..... There is a long list of work to get the rest of the car back together right now! You interchange your brooklands with screen dont you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Chan Posted November 23, 2006 Area Representative Share Posted November 23, 2006 Andy, Generally I leave the Brooklands on my car most of the time but occasionally do change back if kids are to come out on a long run with us as they complain that wearing a headset and sunglasses hurts their ears!
