As reported in the Main Relay replacement post (http://www.nsxcb.co.uk/entry.php?322-Main-Relay-01), one of the fixing tab for the rear upper trim was already damaged and not possible to hold the retainer clip.


Initially, thought about using the anti-vibration glue to repair it but it looked to be too thick for the purpose and required more delicate solution.

So, decided to use the Plastic Repair kit which can bond to the paper like material very well.


Sprayed some oil to the clip that the owner recovered and used it as the mould to rebuilt the missing part.


I’ll need to make final adjustment to position the clip at the right place but so far, it is secured very well.
