LM30 Stanchions

[jdp]

I decided to give the stanchions & bases a clean this week and was surprised to find that the bases do not seem to have a drain hole.

 

I removed the stanchions and cleaned them and the bases with a Scotchbrite pad and metal polish and they seem in good condition but no drain hole which I would of thought would encourage water to sit in them?

I guess as they are the originals from 1986 it doesn't matter but I wondered if anyone has any comments on this.

It was also useful to remove the stanchions as it enabled me to check the condition of the safety wires where they pass through.
