was such a nice day today so i thought i would fit my strut brace.



Didnt take long when i realised how to loosen the bar ( big eck knows )

Then i just relocated the fuel cut off switch and bobs your dads brother.

Its abit scratched so i might take it off and colour code it.

you think so? i saw the same brace in halfrauds in silver and it looked pants

I live subtle designs, i dont want it to stand out, i would rather it look like it should be there from factory.

last 3 valeo clutches I have fitted have failed.

well not the clutch itself but the release bearing, first one the bearings were dry and rattled like feck so that went back, second one wouldnt fit onto the clutch fork in the box, 3rd one fell apart in my hands. so swapped it for a sachs one.
