One word: Acetone

Not sure if you have the gas tank under the seat. If so, please make sure you put a decent gasket on that fuel sender. I could not get rid of the gas smell in the cab until I replaced the gasket.

Nipples, but you've got the right idea! ;) Thanks for sharing, I love to see that there are still some old-school craftsmen around that fix and repair things. So often I find that there are just part fitters everywhere that have no idea how to repair anything.

Read through most of it today (from the start) and did not find any broken links. Great thread btw, learned a lot thanks!

I would go to a place that does window tinting and ask them. Hopefully you have one not too far away.

I just used a little bit of Vaseline to help get it back in. It's easier with 2 people.

Diamond plate :bang:

Yep, that's how I saw it done.

I have seen people cut down the centre line and weld a piece in. Thought about that but ended up buying some fibreglass flares. It looks good but not very sturdy - certainly will not survive a good whack.

Max speed and max safe speed would be 2 very different things. I've had my petrol 40 up to 110km/h on a flat stretch, but it was white-knuckle stuff.

Yes, called Faded Olive. It is not Dune Beige. Sorry if it has been posted before, just started reading the thread.

My dad used to smoke fish in an old fridge. Low temperature and relative short time so the rubber door gasket was not an issue. Used oak shavings and we used to love the smoked fish.

Sure wish I could get one of those here in Oz (without the freight cost!).

What would that have been for - shooting through the gap? Seems pointless unless the glass is armoured.

You might end up doing more damage by trying to get all the paint off. Good luck with the headliner - it's a cow of a job. If patience is not your strong point get it done professionally. Wish I did.
