domandmel Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 cheers for the comment guys! i have checked with the seller about them being for standard wheels, he said they are fine, and he has been using them on his standard wheels for ages.i think i gonna go for some springs from ultimate styling.....35mm all round. i was watching a set of MGZS shocks and springs on ebay, but they went for loads......i seem to miss out on the bargains!!i will keep it all up to date as and when i can.cheers guysDom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domandmel Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 right, havent been on her to update for a while, been on holiday and sorting out the work rally car.before i went away, and one of my last posts, i mentioned i was just waiting for my new gear knob to turn up......and it did just before i went away. and OH MY GOD what a steal off eaby! genuine EK9, never been used (only fitted) was like out of a box and i got it for £15!!!!! i never get deals like that off ebay!anyway, chuffed to bits with my new purchase, i set about sorting the gear gaitor and knob combo.first up, removing the trim and gearknob everyone knows how im sure, unscrew knob, yank up trimthen i removed the old gaitor by simply removing the old staples. once off just transfer the old collar and rubber band to the new one in a similar sort of place. (i did it inside out to make life a bit easier). when i said I did it, i meant my missus so once all that was sorted, it was a case of working out how to reattach it to the plastic surroung under the trim panel. normal staples dont go through it, so resorted to a couple of screws to hold it all together. you cant tell once its all back together!so there we go, one new gaitor and knob, i have already fitted it into the car, just dont have any pics yet. will get some up soonbut must say, the new knob has made shifting much more pleasurable!!now, to sort out some springs!!!!! cheers for looking guysall commment welcome as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
