Did mine about a month ago, scars still visible!

Fixed 1 leak, I still have another somewhere though :(
topping up every few days, waiting on a mechanic friend now to pressure test.

Have to wait and see if the trade club pack (with card) drops through door.... ;)

It can take a few weeks though...

Well done mate.

Aren't those clips just complete bstds.  Either too big for your pliers or just out of reach.

Cheers

The clips are very good. They are extremely quick during build, and apply a consistent, even clamping pressure...

But without right tools, a right barsteward...
