Look I forgot to remove the plastic caps off the rad arm bolts and they got painted the works :roll: and in an earlier picky it was noticed and i could reply that I was aware of it and that they were a spare pair i fit to prevent build up on the threads or the plastics(which I usually do) but in this case I clean forgot. I either like them as like this or the mounting in black.
but I bet your a pedant when it comes to boxes or at the very least a closet pedant :rofl
