Still got a few bits to do on it.
Front indicators are very visible.
And rear no. Plate is also very visible.
So did it pass with a number plate in the rear window?
Front indicators - do you have front facing ones - are they behind the mesh?

Yes.
Front facing indicators right behind the mesh and very bright there even in daylight.
And rear plate in rear windscreen is good as it is still very visible.
The reason I put it there is because I am going to get a new rear plate made up.

So.......
Went to pick up my Z today from the body shop where I had a little bit done and had it all undersealed with schutz underneath.
Also has one of the geadlight buckets re-done, and cover brackets painted in black too.
Driving it back my gearstick was getting sloppier and sloppier..... Not used to having a sloppy knob in my hand!!!!
Got to say it was not my cup of tea!
And as mike brewer says, changing gear was like the lottery and like stirring a wooden spoon in a bowl of porridge!!!
Needless to say, this was not good enough!
So 2 hours later......... this is what I produced!!!

Don, nice work but the 'proper' nylon bushes are available from MrF and cheap. I would think a metal one is noisy?

Completely wrong shape, and will soon wear out. You have no bush function in the horizontal plane.
The bushes should look like a pair of top hats, not just a simple tube.

It is a press fit.

Even worse.
Look at the shape of the stock (nylon) bushes, and the aftermarket brass/phosphor bronze versions. Your one-piece bush doesn't replicate their function because it is not shouldered. The shoulders are vital to the function.
