Wiper blades.....again....
For once, will try to keep things short. What is the procedure for changing just the rubber insert, keeping all the original metalwork. Im sure i did this back in the day with Allegros etc - just cannot remember. Been trawling the forum / net, nothing jumps out.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

Re: Front wheel camber
Finally got this done. Both front wheels were miles out - chap could tell by just looking at them, both out by 3 degrees, both turning towards each other. Took him 2 attempts to get it bang on. O/S camber / caster fine, N/S right on the edge of the green but he assured me its pretty much there, but ...

Re: Flywheel to crankshaft bolts
I believe so ! Yes i think i will try and convince them to re - use the originals. Not sure why they are asking for ' a spare set' but these days it seems ' rules are rules'.

Re: Flywheel to crankshaft bolts
I have a set of bolts on the way from Revington so thank you for that tip Alec. The decision now would be which set to put back !!!!! I do think if the originals free out ok i feel they should just re-use them.....

Re: Flywheel to crankshaft bolts
Thanks Alec, that was kind of what i was after, someone that knows a product that is fit for purpose from a particular supplier. Past experiences dictate i was not keen on getting some from R.B......i think as swapping the flywheel is not usually a job that the Transmission company carry out as part...

Re: Flywheel to crankshaft bolts
Mmm i think i get what you are saying Alec. I am of the impression the gearbox rebuilder would rather have a back up set ' just in case' any of my original bolts may be an issue on removal, but my take on that is - which supplier do i trust for a replacement set of the same quality, bearing in mind ...

Flywheel to crankshaft bolts
The countdown has begun for the Autobox revamp - but on top of that im supplying a CW new strengthened flexiplate to replace my original damaged one, rear crank oilseal etc but the gearbox rebuilder are asking for new bolts for the flywheel/flexiplate to crankshaft. CW doesnt do them, stating that t...

Re: Front wheel camber
Very interesting stuff, will keep this in mind should i need it! As an aside, my 4 wheel alignment has been put back a week frustratingly, they are having building works done and due to the 'unusually' half decent weather this week the builders are jumping on this to pour a whole new frontage to the...

Re: mk2 subframe mountings

If i remember rightly on mine, there were 2 on one side, and 6 on the other - for now i cannot remember which side was which,but i would of made note of that somewhere. When i rebuilt it, i replaced like for like, just wit...
