Splitting Hairs (again)
Just an FYI on MGB sway bars, although they are often finished they are generally not powder coated. There are rubber bushings in the end-links that would not survive well in the oven. The bars I have seen (including the ones we bought, one from Unique and one aftermarket) were both basic black rattle can finish. We sanded them down and hit them with POR 15 which is both attractive and ridiculously flexible.
