Helper spring is only there to keep the springs in tight for MOT (i assume)Quote:

Progress has been a bit slow of late, just lots of work and family stuff going on!
Anyway, the headlining is now fully installed, all the windows and front screen are installed and the sunvisors are in.
Rear 1/4 interior panels are cleaned up and in situ.
I have trial fitted the corsa dash and have found that the EPAS motor sits extremely close to the back of the
fuse box so will need to spend some time re-routing some of the loom so things fit OK.
Also got my hands on a electrostatic flocking applicator and have given it a test as the dash is not ready yet.
I stumbled across a site in the US getting rid of some of their stock, and an Electrostatic Flocking Applicator
was amongst their stuff. Paypal payment later and 2 weeks shipping and my applicator arrived today in its own case :-

I am not quite ready to flock the dash yet but I needed to try it out on something - roll up the cadburys
highlights lid !!!! -

I then put the kettle on (you need some humidity for the applicator to work best) and then loaded up the
applicator and zapped the lid ......

The photo doesn't show the flock off to its best - the great thing is its a uniform layering with no clumps
and all the fibres are pointing 90 degrees to the surface which is how it should be. I'm really chuffed
with the results and it means I can do dashes, centre consoles, pillar covers .... well anything really!!!
Cheers for now
