Thought I'd share with you a fix I was rather chuffed with!

The plugs that the strings of the Parcel Shelf on our FD3 were broken and wouldn't hold in

Unable to find replacements I decided to innovate... Lol

Prototype 1 was based on using a Diet Pepsi Can... Idea was right but not enough strength

Prototype 2 moved to an old Chinese Takeaway Container, a self taping screw and some red insulation tape for spring

Hey Pesto... Final production... Final fitting adjustment gentle undertaken with a lightweight "taping stick"... You'd never know it wasn't original production lol

Sometimes it's the simple things in life that give you pleasure... Hope it helps... See pictures below....

xXx

Awesome thread, 5 years later this is giving me inspiration! Even if buying is an option, no way I'm paying 20 pounds for these pieces of junk :D
