I ground the stubs so that they had a flat top then centre popped the surface and very carefully drilled them out using a 3.8mm drill, finished off by clearing out the threads with an M5 x 0.8mm pitch tap and fortunately saved t...

Just seen this Steve, I think it works really well with the black dashboard and grey trim, impressive! You may have just solved a 7 year itch for me!

Passed a nice Sienna or Mora red saloon this afternoon at about 1.30pm on the A56 Hale/Bowden just before it gets to the roundabout and becomes the A556, driver moved over to the inside lane and let me pass then pulled back out behind me, I waved through the rear window but I think they were too eng...
