tooSavvy Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 SWMBO seatbelt latch has been loosly flopping about on its retaining bolt.... As if the hole was too big on the bolt ? After stripping out the plastic cover I discovered the spring/welch washer (presumably to allow wobbly movement but not 'rattly') has fretted away and snapped.... I tried to loosen the 14mm bolt but.. even with a tube on my ratchet.. couldn't break it away Plan B formed as using twopack adhesive to flow into the void and 'gummie up' the hole/make movement stiffer The slight shine on the washer base is it, after glooping on with a piece of plastic. Working just fine now(rattle-less).... see how it goes! egg, ProgRocker, loserone and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 I have bought a 5metre roll of 8mm x 20mm waterproof cabinet door gasket. This sticks to itself like $hite on a blanket so, by moulding around a preformed gasket footprint (of the spoiler contact area) I'm confident of making a neat install of the Primera spoiler/with grommet for the LED brake light wiring ..... nice, sunny dry day today....

tooSavvy Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Further progress on 'finessing' the bootspoiler fit. There is a 19mm gap to mine, at the centre foot, due to Nissan bootlid curvature so I have bonded together a couple of pieces of laminate flooring material and will today profile it to match the foot. When glued on and painted up this piece should look spiffing..... Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Nice bright day means we, without 'man cave/garage', can work free of rain So we now have my 19mm post installed and ready for a skim / flatt. Coming along nicely..... Jim Bell and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Some while ago I bought some 'two pack/sausage stick' epoxy filler, like £2.99 delivered @ebay. Writing is Polish <with english on the back>. Reckoned it was ideal for slapping over the join, here on the foot extension. FinnEll.... It Is Stikkie!

tooSavvy Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'm getting near to installing my boot spoiler..... #barryboy alert ? ... well, I don't think so. The 90's Primera P11 was, to my recollection, a fairly good seller but not as a 4door? I certainly never saw a 4door boot spoiler on ebay >>> and I have been looking at 'boot spoiler' search for a LONG TIME! I'm happy to live with this addition and, given the car is worth around SqRootofEfAll, halving it's value through tacky mods is not a dealbreaker.

tooSavvy Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 What a Nightmare!! Properly a 'two man' job, and with the LED brake wiring going in through another hole then any jiggling - attempting to get one of either bolts started - was nigh on impossible.... My ffinn back! ? Of course, the bolt holes were behind the boot frame pressing SO I had to nick the skin with my cutting disk & fraybentos it back.... ..... luckily the full fabric board/trim covers the inner skin so there are no nicks to be seen now, after folding back Measure 42times [worry some more....] 48times and 'just ffiinn Do It!' = perfect alignment and the holes are just a few mm bigger than the bolts I parted the loom connection right on the brakelight/tail spur.... Jammed the pedal down and pinned out the brake feed.... Earthed on a chassis bolt and forced the live into the space at the pin shoulder (in the loom connector) and zipped the wire tight PiggyBack. I will sort out a short fone vid demonstration when I have someone else to help..... All My Own Work today. Well Happy Jim Bell and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooSavvy Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Posty just dropped this in.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252800552624 I replaced the rubber gasket, with Hylomar splodged around, on my Cambox. I still find I'm having an oily splodge past the gasket and I don't want to screw the alloy down until it bends!! This should be just the job.... I was rather taken by the price (inc Del) and it seems lots of other brand labels >> on the same stuff >> have it more expensive ... just need a bit more sunny weather ...
