[QUOTE="Spiff, post: 1114609, member: 404998"] Good evening Channel Hopper, Having the replacement set on hand, I hope to be able to replace the originals one at a time. Even if the raw bolts do not line up, I can fit the replacement brackets up or down from the original position without taking the pole down. I have found powder coatings crack, especially where bolts are and against the walls. Fiberglas may be better as you mentioned. Galvanising has been good on our sun balcony, it is 12 meters long with galvanised metal railings, they have stood the sea air since 1988 : ) The bottom two brackets which are original SSS design, have little rust on them and will be a good buy for anyone. The two I modified with a hack saw drill and large hammer, lost a lot of the original powder coating. I will take some of the replacement paint off to see if the rust is just surface, before offering them for sale. I was going to go for stainless steel bolts, but it would have added even more to the cost. Perhaps replace them later. The installation is my baby as cars are to some folks, cars are just a means to me, our C5 cost £200, leather seats, 2 litre petrol automatic, no rust. Mind you it had done 150000 miles and came with a custom scratch down one side : ) God Bless Spiff [/QUOTE]
