Me neither Lee... but once you've got a car thats goes a bit you notice its deficiencies a lot quicker, so just a few sensible mods... I've no interest in being scene and low and spaced out to the max.

Once the rear arb goes on that will be me done i think! (famous last words  :confused:)

Dream on dreamer, your on here all the time, your hooked.  :laugh:  Next year you will be arranging rolling road days and suggesting we all were name tags.  :P
You will only stop once you can wheel spin in third in the dry, or you realise your girl friend left last year.  :rolleye:

Yes dave... used the copper washers!

Theres also and issue with one of the plastic retainers. On one hose it fits perfectly into the mount on the hub (clips on with the metal clip)... one doesnt, it cannot be clipped on as its the wrong shape! Dave... ill get them off and PM you.  :happy2:

Ta JPC... i love your car polishing! (in fact im in rammy at the moment... next time im up ill pop in and say hi)

The issue was with the mounting grommits for the mount on the hub!


Not my car

The gromit for one side is fine... but the other side is the wrong design (must have bee put together incorrectly) it just wont fit... so its just cable tied on and im keeping my eye on it!

The hoses are fine and do not leak so i was happy to just have them checked and re-bled!

I know,  :ashamed:... it was just on a slip road with no cars around so relatively safe!  :fighting2:
