nut sacks!!!
« on: 13 April 2013, 12:26 »
So I put my nut optic trim in and my new knob. I am changing the gear knob cause I ain't happy with it  :embarrassed: (before anyone says once the pics re up). but that's not my only problem I kinda busted the side bits on my radio cage so my questions are:

Best place to get a new radio cage?
How long will it take to do?
How hard to change a radio cage?

Couple of dabs of super glue behind enough to hold it but not too much you cant get it off and just hold them on with some masking tape untill dry .... If you buy a new one its a ball ache to change and the chances are you will do it again eventually !
