Started fitting the raptor dash today.
The instructions say its a 20 minute job. Is it balls!
:frusty:
I have the bigger trunking behind the dash so had to cut the new dash. Its also a complete ball ache trying to cut the original dash with a junior hacksaw, Its even worse when the handle snaps and you have to use it by hand!:frusty:
Oh well, back for more tomorrow! :Cry:

To compress my...coil springs....I'll take my chances as to how dangerous... I've only been a mechanic for the past 14 years on everything from tanks to recovery trucks still got all 6 fingers on each hand

We had the same problem, if you want to bodge it then 30 minutes, we took 2 hours to get it all done, and then you have the problem of wiring everything in
All this took a while
