Think im just going to go down the sleeves route - seeing as they're on their way to me already! I will look into protecting them, although they are stainless steel?

Just got these and in not sure if I'm being stupid and not forcing them on enough but they seem to stick out further and you can see the brackets/clips inside. Can't be right?

Mine are bayer, what are yours? My clips dont stick out like that, I think you've rammed them up. I twisted and pushed them on as far as I could by hand then used a rubber mallet. Perhaps you can bend those pins back and do it again.

Mine stick out by about max 10mm over the standard tips and I think it looks good the way it is

They are not pushed on enough that's why you can see the clips. I used a block of wood and hit that with a hammer to get mine on so not to damage it.

Yeah cheers guys. Was using a rubber mallet but that's as far as it was going. Will have another go in the morning
