TezzerTel:
I think the issue is there is a 2.5mm radius in the bottom of the bore where the seal fits. The seal has a very small radius on the front of it. I've managed to 'scrape' a radius on the front of the seal and it all seems to fit nicely now without popping out.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
That sounds like you have some thick powder coating.
Were the originals painted or Zinc plated.
I just sprayed mine with a thin layer of black paint to keep costs down.
TezzerTel:
I tried scraping any powder coat out of the corner but it wasn't thick. I think it's because it a pressed steel part maybe modern seals have a sharper corner?
TezzerTel:
Been looking at putting my rear indicators on tonight and the rubbers that they mount on seem to be handed but I only have 1 hand? In the parts diagram there only seems to be 1 hand (Part No.16) has anyone any knowledge on this?
Nurse Julie:
They aren't handed Terry, they are both the same if I remember correctly, thats if you have the original ones fitted. The fiché only shows 1 part number and CMS say you need 2 of the same part number.
