Has anyone installed the JCW Handbrake grip themselves? I didn't realize until yesterday that the JCW part needs to be glued on. I checked out the instructions at Motoringfile and it mentioned "Sikaflex"?? A Google search turned up alot of German sites so if anyone has installed this on their own... what adhesive would you recommend.

Thx

 

Anybody?

 

I think I have read somewhere that people that have installed them have not used glue. They simply have built up the diameter if the e-brake with masking tape until their is a force fit. That way if you ever have to remove it you will not destroy it. Steve

 

Yep , Thats what i did.Electrical tape.

 

I never even thought of that THANK YOU! I was a bit worried about gluing it on :impatient

Thanks

 

There was a post about this on the MINI2 board. I used masking tape and built up the diameter enough to gain a nice tight fit. -Bob

 

Thanks, I can't access Mini2 from work, which was where I did most of my "research" So I'll check it out from home

Got it

Thx Bob

 

That's what I did ..it works !!

 

Thx, I'll go out tomorrow and give it a try. I'm thinking if I take my time and wrap the electrical tape around it one layer at a time, it'll go on clean and, if I ever want to, I should be able to take it off cleanly as well
