    This is after, casting sand blasted with my new sand blasting cabinet, rubber gators cleaned up nicely, new greased packed into joints and rack cleaned up and greased, new rod ends ordered and this will sit in the spare room until I'm ready to fit

    Update on this: it looked ok just sandblasted but decided to paint it metallic silver and hammerite the ends, will update the pictures later
