Thought you'd relish that job John ;) I was having nightmare thinking about doing this job but it was an absolute doddle but then i am rather Awsome :)

Jude has the pics somewhere so i'll get her to post one or two up later :) It basically consists of a short piece of plastic pipe large enough to go over the bush hole on the crossmember and the bush of course, about a centimeter bigger than the hole is ideal, An M10 bolt and nut long enough to go through both the cross member/pipe and 2 large SQUARE flat washers about an inch and a half in size these must also be quite thick otherwise they may bend. Oh and a bit of olive oil lol! you read right :) The rest is prety self explanatory when you see the pic of it but you have the bolt with a large washer on it feed that through the bush to be fitted a smear of olive oil on the crossmember and the bush itself. Then line it up with the crossmember and place the pipe above the bush hole in the cross member the second washer Must rest on the pipe otherwise it wont work then simply tighten the nut that goes on top of it all and watch with a big smile on your face :) Once pressed tight up against the hole you WILL need to poke it into is final resting place THIS IS WHY SQUARE WASHERS ARE USED AS THEY GIVE YOU ACCESS TO POKE THE BUSH while everything is still in place, the bush simply pops into place and then remove the tool and start again with the others. It took me 15 minutes to do all 4 once i sussed it out. I know folk have had a right old wrestle with these and i wasn't gonna risk stabbing myself. I use a similar tool at the cycle shopwhere i work for pressing in headset bearings so got the idea from that! Happy Days. :)

Effortless job with my magic tool :)

Whats a eunos? is that what they are called overseas?

Awsome find Andrew! cant wait to see it :)

Ha Ha you are addicted my friend, welcome to the insanity of numerous Corrado ownership. :lol: Yes will stick you back in and talk about the curry house arrangements later. Hey no need to feel guilty either. :)

So who would like to stay over the night before this event? could do with getting an idea if you dont mind letting me know, space is not a problem so please join up with us as i know Sunday night will be a blast! :) Also have room on the club stand as Jude will enter the show and shine :) any takers?

Smashing news :)

Just got back with some good ideas and some great input from all those who attended, a big thanks from both myself and everyone else on the commitee for taking the time out to join us. Always good to meet up with old friends again and even better to have a few folk attend that haven't been to an AGM before, hope it didn't put you off :) Thanks and best regards. Paul (kip)

:)

Anyone? Just me and jude and maybe Bruny so far :)

At least all the bits off it helped others stay on the road Vaughan, i know we had a few little bits too :)

Or me :)

Ahh thats a shame Andrew, was hoping to have a real good look over the car too lol! another time though hopefully. At least you get to do the work in a slightly warmer temp rather than the depths of winter. Come and say hello on the day though buddy if you do make it :)

Hello Sam, Afraid not buddy! this is one of the primary advantages of being a member as I know you once were for the anniversary gathering at this very show in 2008. Membership is still only £10 which doesn't go that far these days so a small price to pay for a prime parking spot and a great social with other likeminded members on the day. Why not consider renewing and attending the AGM this weekend? be good to see you there and would love to see the car Kip :)

:) sounds like a good idea to me dude!

Still whack it on the stand cant you chap?

Anyone up for a convoy down to the AGM then? be good to have a few join us as last year! Could do a 2 stop thing on the way down to pick up anyone interested. 9.30 Woodall services 9.45 leave And can maybe meet at Trowell Services too Any takers? Kip :)

Hi All, Just to let everyone know that the new Corrado Club website is up and running. All existing members will need to re-register and instructions are on the site to guide you through it. Lastly a vey big thanks to CrazyDave & FTF for their hard work :) Hope to see soe of you at the AGM next weekend Kip :)

Yeah everything else s off its just the height adjuster knobs that are a pain, will have another swing on them :/

Does anyone know how to remove the B pillar trims? I have all the screws out but i cant for the life of me remove the knob that adjusts the seat belt height as this is all that is now holding it in place. Dont want to break it off but i really have pulled on it :( Any suggestions would be appreciated. Kip

Yep another firm order here for me to Alex just to confirm, if you need me to pay up front let me know as more than happy to do that and i'm sure the rest of the guys who definately want some will too before collection. Save you laying out loads of money to produce them. :) Kip

Ooh Bummer! ought to have told you that it was not tested, :( Karma will do its thing though :) Nice to see it back in safe hands, as i went to view it many moons ago but it had already been sold, alas I got my Nugget in the end which is now in the body shop! Hope all goes well when you get it back.

Yep happy to collect for anyone who has paid Alex up front and is happy to collect them from my place or at a local meet or something. cant see it being in the next few weeks though as i'm sure he's got enough on at the mo but a date maybe around end of summer might not be a bad idea! Chance to make several up then too!

Still happy to collect full sets for anyone who lives near me Alex, guess a list of interested folk and then request full payment first would be a must so if you want to sort that bit out i'm happy to do the collecting :)
