I'm confident the "steel piece" won't rust any faster than the trailing arm it's connected to .

Frame and arms will be powdercoated. Washer probably will not be, unless I can get a freebie out of the shop.

PS - I agree with gringoloco on the standalone price. My $25 was just figuring in the other hardware required.

If there's one thing I've noticed, it's that people will pay a reasonable amount extra if they can buy everything in one place. I personally greatly dislike anything that comes without hardware, and has no quick and easy place to find it. Nothing is worse than hitting several hardware stores trying to find the right parts - this is what happened to me when Brothers sent me radiator core support bolts last year - one of the carriage bolts came with the middle two threads mangled (how'd that pass QC?) and it couldn't be repaired using files, and it prevented me from bolting up my core support. I went to every hardware store in town and ended up having to special order it from a warehouse in TX because it was odd-sized.

Point being: Shopping around for hardware might seem like a menial task for some, but others have a pain with it, and buying a 'hardware kit' to solve all mounting problems is invaluable to some of us.
