But getting there

:headpop:
hammerite gold in a spray can is the closest thing i could find... anything powder coat doesn't look good at all IMO...

Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it."

Old school punched feet

Image
The top plate is aluminium and the base is steel. The aluminium fixing holes will strip fast if way over
tightened. They are structurally sound and perfectly fine for stomping on but fuck with the screws to
heavily and it's Jimmy Page white tape time buzz for you.
Image

Solid steel and with screw bushings used throughout, so no fear of stripping threads here.
Battery access is through a hatch in the bottom via two screws, just like the originals.
Rubber feet are also held in place by screws/screw bushings.

New school rubber feet
