As my oil pump is still sitting in someplace awaiting customs clearance, and the temperature was -35 Celsius this morning I went squirrely....and...watched some trim repair video's on YouTube. as I am still looking for 1 more trim pc. I decided to try to straighten it and make it passable? my friends son is rather a good carpenter and he made me a little jig to put the damaged pc. into. spent the better part of the day reshaping it, still have more work to do but its better than it was.
I'm also looking to replace the headlamp wiring harness, trying to reuse the sockets but that may not work out well. they are cracked, and a replacement rivet the correct size does not appear to be available locally. I filed down the head of a Teflon screw for now. you folks think it will work as a lasting fix? trim the nut flush, apply heat or glue to stop it from backing off?
