[Spridgets] Bugeye side curtain bracket

[Martyn Ridley]

Getting old. Agree that the brackets are Zinc plated, not painted - and I did mine last year!

Cheers,
Martyn

Below are photos of original Sliding Side Curtains that were restored about 20 years ago and used mostly with the factory hardtop.  I had the brackets powder coated although they were originally painted.
