I don't recall the last time anyone actually refurbed an OEM brush-bar but I like it. Look forward to the pics.

I have to do the same thing as OP on my brush bar and plan on drilling drainage holes at the bottom.
I had forgotten about the line of sight thing, I have an electrolysis tank already set up so I will test it before doing my guard. Use a piece of pipe I can inspect. I have been trying to avoid acid dip as that is either expensive or creates way more liquid acid than I want to have to dispose of - even if neutralized.

i did my fenders with it. They didn’t turn out good but that is mostly because I still had residual Durabak on them. Make sure you sand them completely smooth before you apply the herculiner. Good luck!
