The thing is rock auto can't declare that it really dosn't contain any Russian parts along it's manufacture. Many parts made in china, raw materials may have come from Russia. Documentation of things from China is rare and if there is it's likely false. Rockauto can't say without a doubt it...

Yeah, its been going on for a few months now. It seems far easier to buy elsewhere. Might cost more, but less hassle than having many things in your shopping basket, wasting time, only to find they wont ship it.

I'm thinking of nipping down there this evening. Nice weather for it.

Well it's Easter Monday, nice weather. So got the car cleaned, and out for a drive.

Yeah seems that way. The old ones are okay so popped them back on until I modify the design and re-print.

First print ended up being too brittle. The clips snapped. Need to relook into the design. ABS has some flexibility, could be moisture, temperature or layer thickness while printing.

Sent to print. Not done another test fit. Hopefully all will be fine. At a cost of £1.68 for all 4, its not a great loss if I need to print again. If its only a little bit out I can modify with a stanly blade.

All drawn up with the clippy bits on the back and location jobbies.

Yes, it is needed. Too many closed. A lot of people do like to go into a branch. I needed to sort out an account, local one closed, one in the next nearest town also gone, I think another town its gone also. Not even sure when my next nearest branch is now. So just letting that account problem...

I 3D printed the ones on the hood. I want a little bit of yellow in the ones on the side just like the ones on the hood. I have scanned in the wing holes, and designing the side vents to clip in. The hexagons are a little larger. Just about to draw up the clips on the back, then ready to print.

Only took a few photos today, it was nice just walking around instead of taking photos. https://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/media/albums/wheels-day-2026.1809/
