Default FMIC fitting
Anyone got a good technical guide showing how to fit a front mount on a new age? Also what tools I will need.

Never done on before so this should be interesting!

Thanks
Guy

I have the guides for the Hybrid - although I didn't fit it myself and Dyney has sworn never to do one again after fitting mine!

Not got a clue mate, all I know is that it's Dave Becks old one. I suppose it will be a case of finding out on the day

Just be prepared to take the bumper on and off lots of times!! If you pm me an email address I'll send you the Hybrid instructions for what they're worth!
