Is this the correct oil as it is for wood polishing?

That's perfect. Wear gloves, the smell takes weeks to get out your skin.

Ok so today my new clocks came with the rev counter in them. Very easy to put them in and i changed the speedo's over so that i was able to keep my original 39k miles instead of 146k! Some pics below...

New rev counter cluster

Old cluster out

Old speedo out from original cluster +Speedo out from new cluster

Bolt original speedo into new cluster

Screw back together and put back in the dash

Cluster back in together and working!

Pleased with the new dash clocks, only paid £17 for them off of ebay and they came quick as well! *The last picture of them lit up is with the new mileometre with more miles on it, my original one (which is now in) only has 39k

Got some things through the post yesterday!!

New wheel that i bought from ebay:

Also picked up a Peugeot 206 boss on ebay, fits well:

Lastly i got some Lin Seed oil which i would highly recommend to ANYONE!!! It is the best thing i have ever used!

I'll upload some more pics of the bumpers and grill, they were grey but now they are black! Great stuff!

Here are some pics of the wheel in the car:

Pleased with the wheel and it was relatively cheap, as well as the boss that i managed to pick up for only £20!

did your boss have a bit for the horn?

[Benfraser]

did your boss have a bit for the horn?

No, only downside to it Not that bothered about it i am going to wire the horn up to an external switch

Why is everyone using the 206 boss? Is it cheaper or something?

[Benfraser]

Why is everyone using the 206 boss? Is it cheaper or something?

I got it because it was only £20 compared to like £40 or £50 that some of the other ones were and because i know that the 206 one fits. Not sure about any other that fit, do you?
