As you can see from the above my fresh bars are unpainted stainless as I quite like the look. However while I have the box bolted on so it cannot move which is good I will not be running the box very often. Mostly the bars are just going to have various things strapped to them which is never going to be as tight a connection as those U bolt fastener. This is giving me cause for concern as the old mild steel bars are plastic coated which affords some grip especially against metal items like feed troughs. So I'm looking at something that I can use to cover the bars that has some grip but is very durable and not too ugly? I have considered pipe lagging as it comes in grey and it's easy to fit though it is easily damaged. I have also thought about something like heat shrink but I can't get it over the feet without splitting it while wouldn't work. I also thought about duct tape and again I don't think it's durable enough. Finally I thought about splitting some blue water pipe but again it's then a matter of securing it as I don't have a plastic welder.
What other options can we think of?
Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny!
