hi all

just spent half hour putting one screw in after putting the top screw in first realised as I haven't got 6 inch fingers it wasn't happening had to take it out again and go for the bottom one, the misses wasn't available so ended up using a small piece of 2x1 to hold up motor ( no back chat from 2x1) also a Phillips screwdriver more like a sword to get the angle over the triangular cross member bracket all this for the Windscreen mounting bracket.

 

P.S

plug in first saves a little wrangling after

Hi,

Worse than the 3 handed jobs are the ones you can't get a hand in!

Gearbox end of the Speedo cable is my pet hate!

Cheers  :proud:

Having big hands doesnt help either!

Ideally you want 3 sets of 9" long, triple jointed, heat proof, magnetic fingers with an led light at the end!  ;D

Actually, I disagree. Most jobs are fairly simple and straight forward especially when comparing most jobs to other cars, particularly modern ones.

 

Admittedly, some jobs there are 'tricks' to though ;D
