Fixed my cruise for 60p!
« on: 03 October 2008, 14:00:11 »
My cruise broke a while ago - the yellow ribbon that connects to the bowden cable snapped!
Stripped it out of the car and dismantled it - one snapped stud on the inner wing and 2 sheared bolts on the casing  >:(

A visit to my local fabric shop found me a length of nylon ribbon exactly the right width and with no stretch in it which i stitched and glued to the broken end at the cable.  Rebuilt the unit and hey presto - job's a good'un

When was the last time your sewing skills were used to effect a mechanical repair to the car?

Result i think  :y
