Hei Alex,

that looks very nice! Did you get some O-rings from a local motorcycle shop or something?

No funnily enough I bought a washer kit from lidle ages ago that had plastic, fibre, copper and rubber washers in at as well as jubily clips and other usefull things. I think it was aimed at plumbers so may be worth looking at your local plumb centre.

i was lucky because the ruber washers I used were flat and the perfect size! Good old lidle!

Done a little more this weekend. Mainly adjusting my steering rack set-up so that I get even lock on both sides which makes a huge differance! Wish I had done that sooner!

And I also placed my new tail pipes in the tunnels to get an idea of what its gonna look like.
