Tech Tip: Mk 1 Plastic Bumper Clips

Post by jimmy h »

Anyone who's owned a Mk 1 will know these things break if you so much as look at them the wrong way.

First find the centre and drill out to around 7mm, I went up in stages 5,6 etc..

Then tap it out carefully to M8

Screw in nylon grub stud (easily available off e bay)..

Cut some notches on the other side with a Dremel like tool to provide a key and epoxy. (not shown)
