    Better, but still needed to be attacked with a dremel to polish the last of the grime inside!

    Holders cleaned up ok, the rust scraped off and rust treated….. I did have to spend some time reconstructing the internal shield, as they had got a bit fragile and crumbly over the years!

    I do have new brackets coming, as they are available and not too silly priced! still £12.86 each delivered, but better than hours fettling in the garage!
