Well rear parcel shelf and all seatbelts have been removed so now I await the harness arrival.

Also greased the sticky rear caliper which seems to have helped.

I sprayed another couple of engine bits green too so will get pics up when I fit them on again!

Hoping my livery arrives in the next couple of days as it is all bought and paid for :D

Ok, so harness arrived today and all was well until I tried to put the final bolt in.

This is the one that goes through the original subframe and into the floor same as Leigh's:

Problem being, the original bolt is tapered and therefore the hole narrows the deeper it goes (also the thread is a fraction wider I think)

So how do I get the bolt in, as brute force seems to be failing!?

Best way would prob be to tap it out to the size needed.

Yeeh if u have a tap set I would go a intermediate tap first then the fine one

Smokey 03-11-10 06:36 PM

I dont have a tap set :( Just a drill :P

coreygraham180 03-11-10 06:38 PM

I don't either or I would have offered u it

Jay-ZS+ 03-11-10 06:39 PM

If it wasnt holding in a seat belt id suggest drilling it out 0.5mm small then just brute force approach

Jay-ZS+ 03-11-10 06:43 PM

could always get one use it, carefully put it back in the case and take it back. ;)

Smokey 03-11-10 06:43 PM

That was my initial though but as you say, is holding a seatbelt!

Surely enough brute force should eventually get it in?!?
