Ive got the same one on my 34. Hubby did all the other relocations of water bottles etc lol lol.

In regards to the nipple, Pirtek @ Lawnton on northside.

Take the old pipe in and they will measure it up for you. We got a brass nipple, they gave it to us for free but its no more than a couple of bucks. Drilled the hole and got a magnet to get all the shavings out and cleaned it all up. Screwed it in and then soldered around the outside to give it a good seal. Works a treat!

:P

lol lol

He spend a long time stuffing around on it ....

Made up a few brackets and trusty old zip ties. It was a matter of jiggering it around/up or down to get it into another spot in the area. You can see it a little bit through the side of my front spoiler but that didnt worry us as we were not really keen on cutting the bottle or replacing it incase we gotta put it back! You could paint the bottle black if it worried you. lol

:P

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
