Re: [DML] Re: Radio Bracket reproduction (was: New Fuel Gauge Sending Units...)

I will make sure when I see James at the NEC in November that he goes home with at least
one can of Black Hammerite "hammered finish" paint. It did a superb job of painting my
new bracket - and James will be able to see it for himself as my car's going on the stand
at the show. I now have a Kenwood MP3 unit mounted and everything's as tight as I could
want - I'm surprised you had problems.

Here's the paint
