Re: Alloy Wheels
I have some square alloys, but all my round ones have long since moved on sadly. And I do mean SQUARE! Even with a half a kilo of weights on the bastard things I couldn't get them to balance at all..
There are / were some expensive alloys on the bay of plenty, but they were too much, and I dont think they came with bolts either. And you'll need the bolts too.
Instrument binnicle switches? Ideally it's safer to pop the binnicle out and push them from behind, but it's easy enough to gently lever them out with a fine screwdriver from the front. Just be gentle and dont force them.

Unless there already broked, in which case pull until the front comes off, then use a pair of pliers to pull the body out.docchevron132 wrote:Just be gentle and dont force them.
Oh and to do them gently, you need to put a flat bladed screwdriver between the body and the binacle and NEVER put force onto the front of the switch.
