Just a 2m 5t strop, mainly for use as a floating apex.

Splashed more paint about. Took the panel almost all back to bare metal and gave it 2 coats of high zinc tractol primer, this stuff sticks like shit to a shoe!

Can't beat a thick primer, brush painted for that textured effect, lol.

Where did you order it from Jordi?

Only place I found was Alibabas, but the site seemed a bit dodgy.

heard great things about these lockers when fitted to a suzuki
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
