The ones i've fitted in the past on projects have always gone in easily. It's probably easier to connect the pedal end first, as you can pull the "cable" bit out a bit further whilst bent double crouching in the footwell to hook it to the clip thing.

You just lean over the wing then to do the FIP end.

Well done!

I've just got in from there..... was hardly a soul around all afternoon. sveral dog walkers and one warden lurking (sleeping?) in some woods.

Had to go to Reading this evening, so did a few lanes up around Aldermarston... some good ones there.

Blumming dusty out on the areas though Sad
