Trim/Bodykit

Post by LauraK »

Hello
Looking for replacement side skirt/sill trims, any ideas as seems impossible to find?
Any help appreciated.
Also has anyone replaced the handbrake lever, looking to find a way to get it off the bar at the back end, not sure what kind of tool needed for that!
Thank you :)

Handbrake, there should be a metal clip which slides into a grove on the bar which runs through the handbrake, remove the metal clip and the bar should push out.
You will also need to undo the 2 cables.

Found a diagram, item 12a or possibly a circlip 12 is the bit to remove.
