More stuff to be powder coated

This is the 'before picture of the foot rest bracket and the tail light bracket. The chrome clean up very nicely on the tail light mounting bracket. I needed to be particularly careful cleaning around the wires since the ground wire looks to be fragile and it's riveted to the bracket.

I will be taking the foot rest bracket and the tail light bracket in for powder coating. Before that though, I need to figure out how to remove the rubber grommets in the tail light bracket. The years have hardened the rubber to the point where I can not squeeze it together without cracking and ruining the rubber grommet. These are no longer available so I need to figure out a way to save them.
