Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying the rare heat we are having.
O.K, modifications, I thought I had it all sussed out, oh boy was I wrong. Today was a nightmare. Spring bars are officially on my most hated things list. There just does not seem to be a guaranteed method of using a spring bar tool to ensure that it goes into the hole, its just hit and miss because you cant actually see where the hole is you are pushing the pin back in blind, in the hope that it goes straight in, otherwise you end up doing it for hours which I did on one of them.Totally scratched the inside out due to the pin not being seated and flying out. But I suppose that's the risk with modifying.
God knows how I stayed so patient. Does anybody have any tips regarding re-attaching the straps's spring bar first time?
You visually check where the hole is, then push the pin in with the tool, and you think you have it in and you wiggle it to check and it pops out. Any help would be very much appreciated.
To the pics...Some of the idea's I have copied off of a person and friend that you probably all know off ebay that sells custom ones (as his colour choices are spot on), but thought I would do them myself (cheaper for me), and the others are just me mixing up things to see how they looked.
For some reason the pics are coming out back to front and not the best quality, so sorry about that. They are straight on my computer so I'm not too sure whats going on.
