Sometimes it's best to walk away and come back another day. Well done! Go and have that pint.

Now that my engine and bonnet is back together with all new heat shields I have a front strut brace I no longer need . It has a carbon effect too it. Before I stick it on eBay are there any MX owners who would like it£20 ?
Could deliver to stoneliegh if you don't fancy postage or why not take a drive out?

I thought there would be a rush for the brace so I sat back.
I'll definitely have it.
Please bring to Stoneleigh and it will save you wrapping and posting.

Yes , very easy
They are fibreglass buckets, flip them upside down measure and drill 4 holes, bolt to the runners with countersuck machine screws.

Then fit the padded covers.
They are very light compared to other aftermarket seats

The only issue I have with ALL seats is me, at 6ft 6 and over 18 stone I'm quite limited to what fits. Hence the other seats(which I loved) weren't for me
