Re: Rear brake pedal stop

The NOS one I just got fromRussells was plain unfinished metal. Slightly rusty from years of sitting.

Re: Rear brake pedal stop

If you want a original looking rusty bracket, I would go for a unpainted one

good luck

I doubt a man with powder coated spokes will want an unpainted brake stop.. ..Ian

Re: Rear brake pedal stop

You could compromise by heating it red hot and drop it in a container with used engine oil in it, it gives a cheap DIY black finish (parkerised)and does offer some protection from rusting
