Hi all

The carpet covering my wheel well cover was seperating from the lid itself quite badly all the way around and making it look untidy and difficult to close.

So I removed the lid (which was easy), reglued with some fabric glue (see pic) and clamped down the edge with a length of timber and some G clamps. It has worked well.

You should have fitted the picnic table kit while you had it out :).

Actually bought a P38 picnic setup a couple of years ago. Packed it in a box with a heap of other spares after I'd glued/screwed the leg retainers to the wheel well cover.

I demonstrated it one day on last year's Cape Y trip.. hadn't told Mrs Hoges.. it was greeted with that mixed reaction of "rolling eyes" but grudging admiration:angel: anyway, it worked a treat ...much more class than the adjacent Nipponese offerings. And it comes as standard equipment ...yep doesn't it...DOESN'T IT?... Umm...I just hadn't used it before :angel: :wasntme:
