Covering Brackets and 'Ears'
The Doc - 12/8/07 at 03:25 PM

OK I'm now getting into covering up the stuff at the front. I have my nut covers. No problem covering up the lock-nut etc on top ball joint, track rod end etc. but:

Do we need to cover the top of the ball joint itself?

Do we need to deal with the suspension bracket edges. If so what will stay on such a piddling amount of material?

Do we need to worry about covering the nut below the top ball joint?

What about the bottom ball joint nut?

I guess that some of these can't be contacted by the inspector's sphere

If you can see a nut or edge, cover it anyway.

You can get really small rubber u trim that you stick on with silicone for the bracket edges.

Might have a bit in the garage if you want it.

Some people have used the rubber wheels from model cars. They come in various sizes and fit on the bottom of the front suspension over the damper adjustment.

The tyres are to cover the adjustable platform that has very sharp edges.
