Saying that it only took me about two minutes to sort mine with a bar before they went to powdercoaters and it didnt damage the bush tubes whatsoever, but i should have added above that the bar was a very good fit in the tubes.
Can i ask which powdercoaters you are using Mark, i got friendly with one in Brenda Road, Seaton. Got some good prices but the finish isn't 100%.

"If in doubt get the bar out". Same happened with mine a few mm, pulled it out again and they where fine..

Ive been using a company called motorcool he reconditions radiators and does powdercoating, its at mandale triangle thornaby on the industrial estate.

Im not not sure if his prices are good or not because i didnt shop around, he did some alloys for me a while ago and they were superb so used him again.

He did all 8 wishbones, rear uprights, rack extensions and a rocker cover for about £80 or £90 cant remember exact price. He did say the more things you take the cheaper it is.

They were done in satin black and the finish is faultless
