Suspension bolts re-plated using a "Gateros" kit. These were the first few I did, not perfect, but I got better at the process with the later bolts.

Thanks guys!
The rear brake stone guards were in a bit of a state, with missing bits and holes. I'm not too proud of the bodge I have made to make them at least functional, but at least they are not easily visible and will do the job.
