Hi All,
Heres a couple of ten minute mods under $10 for when you need a quick project in the shed.
The first 2 pics are under the L/H rear of the PC
Shortly after getting the car and starting to do a bit of off road work I noticed this vacuum line? I think,bracket getting bent and potentially crushing the line so I grabbed a bit of scrap that was lying nearby and made a short bracket to lift it up about 50mm out of harms way.
Its been like this for over 12 months now and never been bent or crushed since.I know it looks a bit Ag but the car was on a friends hoist and I was in a hurry.
When I feel like it I will re make it out of a piece of flat ally strap I have in the shed.
Cost $0.00
The second 2 pics are of the extra 2 nuts and bolts I added to the bottom of the number plate.
The plate was starting to fatigue at the top mounts as it flexed and flopped around due,i think in part to the added weight of the number plate covers I fitted.
I just marked and drilled a couple of holes to take M6 bolts and fitted them with a flat and spring washer on the rear inside the tailgate then I put Sikaflex polyurethane on the rear to seal the area from water or rust and to hold the nuts in place should I have the plates off.
The result is the number plate is now fixed solid and does not move or fatigue.
Cost $0.00
