The entire asylum awaits with bated breath.

P.S. I'll keep a look out for some in Madrid next week, where I'll also pick up a couple of Clubi30.es keyrings during our street meet.

Well actually you just gave me an idea. How about Keyrings with the couplings attached.

I've got a unit here I could dismantle. It could be they can order these in workshop bulk but it's not what I expected. probably better than no coupling.

Funny you should say that, Gerard. I did my annual F88 shoot today and according to the latest directive, cut out the stiff auscam dividers in the ammo pouches. I collected them all from the group and will cut them up and attach keyrings for my cadets.

I think that's a private conversation. I refuse to discuss such silliness. I had a perfectly good non compliant pouch which I was told to replace to now be told I'm non compliant again.

Just like this friend of mine who slung his F88 off his body armour with a carabiner years before it became the compliant way to do it!

Right, I thought someone quoted $30 at the dealer. mates rates?

[nzenigma]

Correct, my mate with the workshop brought it up, $28-$30 from a dealer apparently.

I think they're ok. after looking at quite a few images and noticing genuine packs of 10 then that would explain the Non OEM packet. they do have 99.5% rating and no complaints about these which is as good as you get really

The new wagon has the dreaded knock so went to my usual Brendale supplier and asked for 4 bushes.
Parts guy with charisma by-pass returns with 3 -  "that's all I have in stock gimme $66.00".
What happened to $5 each?
That's the new hyundai price.
Well guess what, you now have 3 bushes back in stock.
Duhh?

I now have 10 coming from Korea for $38.00 post free.

[Dazzler]

I would have done exactly the same thing.

I've had the same issue. It got worse and worse until I finally got my mechanic to fix it. Was not as expensive as you'd think.

Don't be shy tell us more, like who and how much if you're happy with the outcome.

Well.......
It started as a slight knock when turning the wheel left or right. The slackness  increased over a few months until every bump in the road induced a sharp tap in the steering wheel.
My .mechanic fixed it for $240.

Thanks for that, you are talking about an honest and competent mechanic. If you want to attach his name ( with his permission) I don't think anyone here will object.

For Northside Brisbane owners:

Mark is an honest and reliable mechanic , also a friend of mine.

He has been doing the steering bush replacement for a few years. His charge is also  $ 240.

[tw2005]

Finally, got a live one. And as Murphy wrote the script himself, the car it failed on was the only one I had not inspected, the TAXI(CW).

Now Mrs said to me there was a knock, being the over rated expert I am I tested the car and said , nah that's nothing.

So after the dirty scumbag nicked my plates on Monday, I borrowed the Taxi. Hmmm, got a bloody knock in it but only noticed at parking.

Got home, hey honey, steering got a weird knock.

" I told you ........... "

   survived that storm and then proceeded to replace it this afternoon.

All fixed, but old one was disintegrating and was very very soft a bit like when rubber goes gooey with age.

Oh, and no zeroising required, that's 3 / 3 I've escaped pulling this steering assembly apart,

Jeepers it's was well and truly stuffed!

C'mon, still in mint condition when you look at a few other images. Probably the difference between ignoring it and knowing something was not right.

I enjoy the end result, the journey sometimes is painful.

Like new.
Mine was in bits.
Many bits and none of the "arms" were recognizable as such.

Do we interpret the above as:
 "although I am an expert in this field, I ignored the obvious because I crave to be reamed by my wife" ?
