[DML] Re: Rusty headlight brackets

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

I would powdercoat them.  If the new ones are cadmium/zinc plated like
many of the other brackets on the car, they too will rust after the
coating diminishes.  You may even be able to salvage the ones that you
have, providing that you can sandblast them without putting holes in them.
