Thanks for that Pete.

If you'd like to write up a step by step account here, with pics, or create a factsheet, go ahead.

Yes please, I'd love to hear how you did it. The information on doing this job is patchy. I did mine (broken shafts in the folding mechanism gearbox), thought I'd done a pretty good job, but they didn't last long. I'd have gone back and tried again but thanks to Waycar8 selling me his old ones I didn't need to

Nice one Pete

isn't it time you put some pics of you're bongo up anyway

At least then I'll know if I see you around

You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

A dissection blow by blow to the last wire & screw in rhyme would help me learn da time spent on a repair to make da job neat if you buss it to a beat & Youtube wid some cuties in da background with a boobtube, maybe gangsta illustration to emphasize the point would stop me going outa sync where the mirror swings on da hingey motor thing while i's trying to pin da problem down would lift my frown, & a possibility of an integrated king-size roller automated stroller for my homies to relax & chill out for the mod stock gather round in the Mickey Dee drive thru. you could give us a clue??
