[quote=Don Clark;10597683]Thought it was about time I did a bit more............

Was fed up with the silver finish on the A/V panel and centre console, so decided to give it the "S206" treatment..............

Before...

How did the paint hold up mate? e.g. chip, scratch, easy to clean?

For some reason some can see cross posted pics and others can't.

However this is a direct link.
Edges of AV panel done in matt black with matt laquer finish
Centre console done in satin black/laquer to match the OEM satin black curved ornamental panels either side..............

After returning from my "Fling" trip to Scotland, I found the rear third of the TMIC fins flattened, like never before.
The front 2/3rds are still like new.

Having straightened them as much as possible have invested in a Zero/Sports Cool Action II.......................

................to help improve air distribution over the complete surface.

Not plug and play. The actual lever part is the same but I had to swap the frame section as the mounting legs are different.

Two rivet heads to grind off (lever pivot pin and lever stop pin) and drill through for fixing bolts on refitting.
Also had to use the original short handbrake wire/balance yoke, rather than the brz one shown here..........

Nice.
Edit: re-read your post. What kind of bolts did you use for refitting?

If you look inside of the cable guide, you can see the two rivets that need to be removed to take it apart.

The pivot one has a shoulder on it so as not to clamp the lever and you can see which head you would grind off.

I think I drilled for M4 bolt and washers and lock nut. Reusing the rivet bodies means you keep the nice clean pivot pin and the shoulder stops you clamping the lever too tight.
