 Stuck on, filled and sprayed. Just looks like a longer mud guard.  Kept the water out going through Tissington Ford last month. Last edited by boot; 19-06-10 at 09:27 PM. |

Re: SV wet front plug syndrome
Cheers guys for all the replies. Anyone know where I can get my hands on a cheap fenda extenda? All the shops I've seen online seem a bit pricey - M&P, Wemoto etc

Re: SV wet front plug syndrome
Thing is the grease is so easy to apply, it seems like a foolish idea not to.

Re: SV wet front plug syndrome
...and if you get a tube of dielectric grease you'll find all sorts of uses for it, all the electrical connectors for example, battery terminals.......
I picked up a tube of Dow Corning DC4 off fleabay for much cheapness, half usual price, keep an eye out for it or visit your nearest Maplins for their own brand. Farnell do DC4 cheap but there's the p&p.....
