My God! that looks amazing! Smile

You *have* to tell me where to get the stuff and how much, i might just be able to do that myself Smile

You can usually get leather like that on eBay - I used to get mine from there Very Happy

The spray glue and foam, I'd say any good arts and crafts shop like Hobbycraft Very Happy

With the spray glue Rob, it does matter what strenght you get as I used some for my sub box covering and it came off but got some like super strong stuff (I got some on my hand and could lift the sub box with that hand it was that strong Shocked

) so as you say, fingers crossed it's stronger than what you used Very Happy

Clutch Slave Cylinder

My clutch system sprung a leak, and I found it was coming from the slave cylinder so I ordered a new one from Honda.
I thought I'd have a go at fitting it myself. On paper it didn't look too difficult.
I took me about an hour from start to finish. The only difficulty was the lack of space to use my tools.
I was going to do a write-up, but the weather forced me to rush. hate-sfiga

Here's the new part with Honda part number.

I used to leave jobs like this to a garage........and pay them. Shocked

All you need are the right tools, a manual and 4000+ helpful people to ask (PUK). hate-king

Here's the new one fitted, this shows where it sits in the engine bay.

Yeah, its a dead easy job, the hardest part is getting the tools there Laughing

Although I found screwing the fluid line on to the cylinder was a bit fiddly.

I know what you mean, I've got some part numbers here for wheel nuts (among LOADS of other ones as well, got a printout from the guy for the rear suspension area Very Happy

). Guess what 16 brand new 4th gen wheel nuts came to...

£115.70! It's crazy. The 2WS subframe (just the frame!) is £366!
