Bongo Fury

I wasn't really commenting on yours Mike, it just worries me that people think that there is a "Locking mechanism" to me that means that something happens that means it can't possibly move under any circumstances, I'm not sure that I count the mechanism above as that! It just moves to a position that isn't going to be affected by vibration etc. I can't see that any additional mechanism is needed either for that matter!

I think its much more important that people understand how it works, and can spot when it isn't normal, the problem we have is that the main notification system - the bleeps - people ignore or actively disconnect - the bleeps are the primary warning system in the Bongo and whilst they might have gone overboard, ignoring them isn't really the answer either

Infact, I wonder if stopping the bleeps in total, could these days count as an MOT failure under the new rules ?

So you don't know what the rubber thingy is either then?

Can't see any rubber squishy things listed here: http://lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/c ... 2of02.html

Just one other thing...at the end of the passenger side roof runner is a black rubber block with a rubber squishy button at the end. ..what does that do?

Which end ? I can't think of anything but I can't check it out as the Wife has the van up in Lancashire this week!

Well I looked on that drawing and I am almost convinced that it is the only part without a number...go on , have a look. A bit of a "where's Wally?' moment.
