Right, Re-fitted the re-veneered dash, f***ing last nut is a swine, got a good GRP rash now. Finally got it in by laying upside down in passenger footwell .

Cleaned up connectors on oil pressure sender, finally got gauge working, 40lbs on tickover, 60 when running, chuffed.

Then helicoiled the knackered exhuast stud on the LH manifold, finally got it nice and tight.

Also stuck some loose carpet down, re stuck the velcro on the hood, and stuck some of the rubber seals back on the hood where they were coming adrift.

Then fitted a new coil (Had it a while, but the bl00dy nuts were seized in the inner wing.

In between taking number 3 daughter to the stables, walking the dog, fitting new door locks for number 1 daughter, fixing cousins new Vista (cr4p) PC....

Pretty quiet day really

Those rose joints are well worth the cash , much safer at serious speed and cornering much more controlled too . Well done Steve Heath !

I have done this too - using sticky back velcro.

Any contact adhesive should work fine though - as long as you ensure you throughly de-grease and key any surface you are going to apply glue to.
