What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

strut mount nut is the same size as a spark plug socket. I use one with a hex top so you can get a spanner on it, and put an allen key inside to hold the centre bit - slip a small rod over the allen key for more torque

Or just buy a rattle gun

This is what I do too.

I ended up just using the spark plug socket, But that tool (if it had of stayed together) would of made the job a little easier.
Its only a $15 tool but its not the point. The strut housing spreader tool worked a treat.

heres a little teaser for whats to come to my bora

Fitted my R32 Steering wheel (reupholstered), my R32 cluster (Full FIS Screen), and my R32 mats. All I need now is some R32 seats!



Engine is coming along nicely. Waiting for exhaust manifold to get back from extrude honing/ porting. Also found metal shavings on the gearbox plug, so that is in the process of being pulled down.



Also managed to score myself a new racecar project. MKIV R32 LHD import. Thanks to Seb at Euro Automotive!

@ trickysimon : The wheel, and cluster etc you have in your car.... Are they in an R32 and just a refresh or are they in a regular mk4?
If they are just in a mk4, are there any cluster issues to consider?

Thanks Simon, just read your thread. Just trying to work out if an R32 cluster will retro fit into my Golf, without it being too painful.
I was looking at a climatronic upgrade, but it's not worth the pain

looks like the instrument swap will work ... great link thanks

Sorry mate, can't help you! I bought the wheel already upholstered! Maybe try a car trimming place?
