sorted this sonofabitch out finally. decided to get a couple of simple jobs out of the way - fitted my throttle cover (never had one even tho ive had the Z for 3 years!) - thanks Kirbz. tried to stop the fan shroud from catching on the fan (slightly loose screws into rad at top caused very bottom of shroud to stick out slightly and lightly knock on the fan blades)

and managed to get my sun-visor-held A-pillar to stay PUT :duffer:

after experimenting with shoving a soft rubber block up there and screwing into it - various types of bolt which i hoped to insert into the square hole at an angle but which would not come out when flat-on etc.

just as i was giving up, there it was at the bottom of the odds-n-sods box, a plastic grub clip with screw. hammered the clip through the hole, screwed the pod to it, and its as solid as So Solid Cruuuuu :dance:

at last, i can lower my sun visor without fear of the pod, gauge and wiring all falling into my lap!

grub screws, always useful :D

didnt happen to find 2 of them did you mate? i have the same problem lol

I read the title of this thread and thought you'd banged a nail into it :slap: :rofl:

 

Steve :)

I used some of that two part metal mix stuff, you mixed the two together with your fingers like plasticine then its stays mouldable for a few minutes while I pushed it into the hole where the origional clip goes making sure to push loads through and leaving it slightly proud at the front so once set it doesnt ever move, drill and screw the A pillar into it. Solid and have taken it down and put it back up a few times while trying to sort a slight TT leak still as good as new.

sorry T-Pot and Cybernet, this was the only one at the bottom of the box. I'll keep my eyes open for any more tho.
