What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Santa Claus has finally arrived.

I must say, however, that the work was more challenging than what i did years ago on my Land 110.

especially the new rubber covers that replace the cut fenders, made me lose a lot of time

I really like the way you used rubber to cover back up what you cut away. Do you have a link to the material you used? Did you use regular sheet metal screws to attach it with or did you drill holes and threaded them from front to rear?

Hi Parb, thank you.

I used some inox m5 u nuts clip with a 3 mm NBR rubber sheet.

Whit. Worth. Love it.

Visited @parb today and we installed the Agile Aux Lights in the grill. Was straightforward except the tiny bit of wire they give you to splice into. It’s pretty hard when you have thick paws. View attachment 7919041

LOL.. The amount of profanity directed at those short wires when i installed mine was not one of my prouder moments.

Nicely done! I'm going to steal that idea -really great idea

I've only just installed them so I ave no experience on whether they will last or not but they seem well designed and sturdy.

My only negative comment would be a reflection on Ineos (or perhaps Recaro) - the screws that hold the factory clips in place go into aluminum threaded inserts in the plastic seat bottom. The screws are secured with blue thread locker, which is stronger than whatever is holding the threaded insert into the plastic so the inserts came out of the plastic. I reinstalled them with epoxy.

My total bill for all 5 brackets was $106.50. There was no additional cost other than the Fedex shipping to the U.S. that was included in that number. Presumably any tariffs required were included in the Fedex shipping.

Update: just this morning I got an email from Fedex saying I owe $39.15 in "taxes/duties/fees" for the shipment of the seat clips to the U.S. So the total cost of the 5 clips is $106.50 + $39.15 = $145.65. I still would have bought them had I known in advance because they are very useful for how I use my Grenadier.
