Which is the best fitting floorboard strips and legs girls beading out there in stainless steel?

Thankful for any suggestions based on experience.

Cheers Victor

Legs girls beading? Sounds interesting. :lol: If you mean legshield I'd say try Scootopia, who probably do the best stuff around at the moment.

I wouldn't use stainless steel ones [and I sell them].
The last scootrs ones I got came with a roll of rubber that fits underneath but it meant having to drill all the holes for the fixed screws in them which was a total pain in the 'arris. I suppose S/S is like marmite. They're slippery when wet and I'd be worried that they'd cut into the paint once screwed down.

Corrado, you mean you had to drill holes in the rubber right?

Shouldn't the rubber avoid them from cutting into the paint?

Did you fit them
And how was the fitting?

And finally did they look the piece? :)

They look a piece all right, a piece from Nam. The VC use them as a ploy to distract your attention :x Seriously though from what I've seen as well as read, they scratch like buggery & look orrible in no time. You'll likely need some industrial polishing gear to keep'em lookin spanky
