A blob of silicon would hold it in.

A bit battered and scratched from being driven over I guess but found it and it still works fine!


Wow that was lucky!

Prince. I can't believe he's gone. I listen to his stuff all the time. Any day I need cheering up I sing Kiss at the top of my voice, and then I feel better.

Yep, although I can't say I was the biggest Prince fan, I did like a lot of his stuff. The pool of talented 70's,80's & 90's musicians is getting smaller & smaller. When they've gone what the heck will we be left with?

Same goes for other talent we've lost recently

Working on the wife's MR2 yesterday doing disc and pads, someone had snapped the rear caliper lower slider bolt in the mount and just left it. Pads worn as well as piston seized fully out. Caliper only on its top slider Replacement caliper and mount in the post. Wtf is wrong with people.
