Replaced the little plastic clip that holds the bonnet stay in place, after the clip fell out over bad corrugations and the stay rattled around and scratched the top of the mudguard.
Replacement cost $20 including postage and I siliconed it in place, but I don't trust it, so in future I'm going to cable-tie tie the stay in place when heading for corrugations.

Anyways, new pads in and....... that flamin squeak is still there, if not worse, so I'm now thinking can glazed Discs be causing my brakes to squeak.....
Will try sanding the Discs then to roughen them up a bit and see what comes of that then.....
I think we are all too busy constantly working on them and have no time to post on here what we have done.[thumbsupbig]Quote:

Couldn't take the bed as we didn't have a set of Allen keys to take it apart. I imagine the next load will include fridge, freezer, bed, can't remember what else was left.
A niece of mine had a dual cab ute and a tandem trailer with a stock crate, but took mostly pot plants.
I’ve only ever used OEM pads......always quite. No idea brand they areQuote:

Then found a low km puma salvaged pedal housing with the over center spring assist. So I will be putting that straight in with its genuine master.c which looks to be in good shape.
I have driven the newer pedal set up a few times and found it to be a little jumpy, with less control over clutch slip. A lighter pedal would be nice, so I probably wont miss the old set up, but keeping it on the shelf just in case!
