Interesting to see how it's done anyway.

BAM - You can get the screws out either side of the seats without removing the seats, difficult, but do-able.

Chad - That is why I had to stopped doing them and had to just offer help and guidance. It was crippling me trying to do them.

Its just mild steel, but it would have been well up to the job, if only it had been designed better, with the loose end properly supported.

thanks for helping us sort the handbrake out this afternoon. We would never have managed without your help and the modified compensator.

You were most welcome, but sorry about the weather.

Did it bed in the shoes OK on the way home?

I can't remember whether those plastic cover got refitted, by the back doors, but if not, they are in the back, under the rear of the front passenger seat.
