748 Heel Plate

  1. My heel plate is getting a few rub marks down to the aluminium and needs a refresh, what's the finish is it anodised or paint i can spray them but would be back in the same situation in no time.

  2. They’re anodised. It’d be cheaper to try to find a second hand mint ish one.

  3. Or have a go at painting them then put some clear helicopter tape over for protection.

  4. Anodise is cheap. I would be surprised if it costs much more than a fiver.

  5. I might have a spare. I’m at my mum and dads but will look tomorrow.

  6. It is but at least around here you have a minimum order of £75. Only way it becomes cheap is if you get a few bits done at the same time.

  7. Source one at put the heli tape on keep existing as back up and diy fix it
     
  8. Have a good rummage :) if you have, my wallet with corn snacks is waiting
     
  9. I just had to look up Helicopter tape, looks good stuff
     
  10. It is very good stuff, hard wearing but it does get a yellow tint from UV light quite quickly.

  11. Bugger. Only got the pillion heel plates. Sorry.
    Unless you want these FOC (lhs needs a minor repair - glue a washer to rear bolt hoke and sorted)?

  12. Or perhaps just buy two new ones from your local Ducati dealer.
     
  13. Thanks for the offer Jack and taking a look :upyeah: I'm ok for pillion ones.
     
  14. Might have to do that, first i will see about anodising but as bettes mentions could be a minimum charge.
     
  15. Make that phone call and you might get a pleasant surprise or perhaps not.
     
  16. Get yourself an offcut of Expel self healing PPF. Andy
     
  17. Roadtrip, new ones are around £15-£25 depending on which dealer you go to. These are one of the many parts people try to sell in average condition on ebay for more than the new ones cost from Ducati.
