when you try to remove the alen key headed bolts, i'll put some good money on them shearing clean off! They are made out of some famous french chese or other which is meant to be drank with wine NOT used to secure a pedal box.


Citroen want nearly £1.50 per screw, however game for anything boy here paid for a WHOLE BAG of the things! I now treat them like gold and do not normally offer them to anyone (on the grounds i WILL need them again) but once you've fucked your cheese and drank a bottle of red to get over it, then let me know and i MIGHT allow you to have some of my screws (though recompence would be nice :D)


I also have a spare pedal box!

Pedal boxes are notoriousley shite. Welding them is easy enough, but get some extra strength added to it by welding in a couple of tabs up the sides.

As for the allen bolts that Citroën so kindly from CRAPITE, bin them and stuff some black hardened allens in. Thats what I done! :D

Vanny could of course move this bit to the councelling bit to get the ball rolling. <Job Done :D>

Also, we could start a thread on there about rebuilding XUD and Mi16 lumps, with the relelvent tools required, torque settings and "tricks of the trade".....
