Learning to drive must be a breeze nowadays. My Golf has an electric motor on each brake caliper to apply the handbrake. Sure it will be considerably more expensive to fix than adjusting or replacing a cable.
Do you mean the side cappings that you have already removed or the other section?
The other section are welded on but you could rivet and glue them on, or even just glue them on.
When I did my son's panhard bushes I used some poly bushes and new bolts.
Following week I fitted oem bushes, the poly bushes were a waste of time, you could see the axle moving from side to side.
That's me!
Seems like I forgot to update it.
The drop arm, once off, was indeed knackered, the ball joint was both stiff and loose, if that even possible!
Changed that and replaced the worse than useless Britpart steering damper which had been on there a couple of years. I fitted a TF damper...
We had a Maxi Cosi Rock-a-tot system which was a baby seat/pushchair/pram, then progressed onto a Maxi Cosi forward facing one, then a 2 piece booster seat thing.
Seemed pretty good quality, 27 years ago though so I imagine things have changed.
