Leather back rest

One of the things that bothered me was the leather always slipped down taking to other owners thay put screws though to stop this . 

I come up with another idea that was to weld repair washers on to 5mm bolts and then glue these to the back of the leather. 

Started by drilling  the holes ,then used double sided tape to make the bolts stick to were i wanted then used epoxy to permanently fix them to the leather.

epoxy fitted 

My poor son volunteered to put the under trays back under sufferance .

easier with the seats still out  

Roof ( hood ) Folding

 Since i bought the soft top and got Andy to show me the best way to fold it so it fits in the bag ,I have been  trying to replicate the process with little success. 

Having asked Andy to send me a guide i have now taken pictures to remind me ( and anyone else ) how its done .

ready for bag

Plug just hanging 

Now tie wrapped on .

not pretty but effective 

When my car went to GD to have new Diff fitted under warranty last November  Andy said that the brake bias wants changing 1/2 a turn as the back brakes are not doing enough work .

Easy fix I though but could not remember which way the brake cyls were and looking back at my blog i never mentioned it ( dam ) 

After a strip down of the wheel cover I could see the piston sizes and then realized that the back piston is in the middle .

Turned in 1/2 a turn
