Thanks.
I think they are 3mm but I usually buy a longer allen bolt so I can get a better grip on it for the exhausts that just won't stay.

Give up! You should be on the next mod by now. You can't spend more money this way.

Just about done. Cliff stopped by (for about 2 hours, always fun to talk to) so I got a late start. I'm also cleaning and lubing at the same time so it's going slow.

Took the trailer in to get repaired, or should I say, get fixed the right way.
Also caught up on AMVIV stuff. Sent out the rest of my emails.

Heim joints lubed, front brake wear sensor wire cut at the connector and looped, soldered and siliconed. Intermittant fog light connectors cleaned and silicone grease added for water protection. All wheel opening areas cleaned. Milltek exhaust re-centered. Tomorrow I will replace the hydraulic motor mount (third one), change the oil and replace the too short (from a group-buy that I'd rather not remember) front stainless brake lines.

Steve
