mark spit Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hi,Prob a question I should have phoned Slimboy up to ask, but they're shut now.I've bought a set for my Spitfire, are they supplied with a protective coating?Or can I powder coat/paint before fitting, obviously keeping the seal faces, threads and mounting lug faces uncoated?CheersMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I have recently put some on my chassis. No protection, mine got etch painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I painted my vertical links but not the bottom joints as these seem to be anodized or plated.I also added a small spacer under the bottom joint nut as I was concerned that the nut corners may touch the joint housing on full articualation. I was unsure if full articulation would actually be achieved with all the components bolted up as they should be, however decided to err on the side of caution.See my bloghttp://triumphandadversity.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-weekend-i-have-been-working-mainly.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Cast and not coated I believe. (Had mine painted just to give them a bit of protection - but don't suppose it'll last!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Moore Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I painted mine gloss black. All part of the plan to fool any policeman into thinking they're standard (would require ADR Compliance certification to be legal in Oz).Not much I can do to disguise the anodised bearing joint carriers though!
