thanks Paula

air bag removal is not supposed to be a DIY job really....

i'll give you a clue tho.... you need a 5.5mm hex socket to start with...that should keep you busy... you may be better taking it somewhere...

glue... no B&Q near you..lol glue gun is all you need... i did mine with epoxy years ago, but would probably use the glue gun if i had to again...

Regards

Highly recommend you join the club if you havn't already...

pps...do you have a question about tyres...?? lol

There is a very good guide on the Puma Forum PP.
Not sure if your registered on there?
But it's in the Wiki guide, I can't post a link to it on here.

FRP tyres are 215-40-17 as standard.

Hi,
with regard to glue for a spoiler, contact Loctite's customer services department and explain to them the application (eg you want to bond a GRP or similar spolier to a painted metal car body) and they will be able to advise you (and probably sell you!) some suitable adhesive.

Hope that helps.

PS. A few generic health and safety tips when working with air bags: Always remove the airbag with the vehicles battery disconnected, and after 15 minutes of the battery being disconnected. Always place air bags face up. Carry them at arms length, facing away from you.

jim, that is very good advice but bloody boring lol

i like a bit of danger haha.

Sorry Al, I went into work mode! That's the problem with working in crash testing.
However, if you like a bit of air bag danger, type in "couch airbag explosion prank" into YouTube.
Seriously though....take care.
