Manxsv, do you know what material they are made out of? And one healplate, you need to remove the whole rearset, correct?


Think it will be Aluminium, I removed mine to polish they are easy enough to take off and put back on

Hey,

I have started sanding my healplates with a 600 grit wet/dry sand paper. It is taking awhile, is there any other methods I could use? I can always polish the plates with this paper after, but it seems as the finish (Paint?) isn't coming off very easy. Thanks,

Mitch

Try rubbing them with Sidi Black Rains. Works for me

When I had my SV I got a sheet of stick-on carbon-look plastic and cut out the shape of the heelplates and stuck it on. It looked good and didn't scuff up at all and if it did start to look tatty you could just peel it off and stick some more on! Too much blue peter as a child I think

Intend to do this - just a case of getting round to it.
