Do love a mirror finish tho... :D Looks great! Black is amazing when it's clean, great to show off corrections but a b*****d to keep it looking like that!

April 5, 20178 yr Cleaned up the bay. Waiting on oil change bits then thinking of getting some bits for under the hood.
April 5, 20178 yr Got these in the post this morning. Ok, I know they're just dust caps, but damm, they're nice! 😊
April 5, 20178 yr I never use metal caps after replacing hundreds of customers valves working at the garage due to their metal caps seizing on to the valves, make sure you put some form of grease or lubricant on the valve threads every so often so you can get them off easily when ever you need to put some air in your tyres etc. 1 hour ago, Pixyflash said: Got these in the post this morning.
April 6, 20178 yr @Hudson Will do, I've got some silicone grease that'll do the job. Thanks for the heads up. 😊

April 6, 20178 yr I try fishing it out with a telescopic magnet thingy, usually works if you can avoid other bits. Also might be worth dropping off the under tray.
April 6, 20178 yr Author Don't even worry about it go buy a new socket, My engines claimed a pair of pliers, 19mm crows foot 12& 10 1mm sockets, they come out eventually Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
