Hard brake and fluid line brackets

Hi gang,

I would like to improve the look of the underside of my car. Might anyone know if new brackets come with a coating to prevent surface rust? If so, may I trouble you with part numbers?

If new brackets do not come with a coating then I will blast and paint my old ones. Thanks.

You might also consider having your original items Zinc Plated. I use a local specialist now for my w124 bits and it’s not expensive either! The lot in the pictures attached cost £20 to get done. So a set of clips like that should run you about $10 or less. They not only look like new but will not corrode for years to come.

Silver is the most common plating - I choose yellow zinc as it's period MB correct so it's got an extra coating on top of the silver Zinc
