    Previous experience I thought save the huffing and puffing and end up taking them off anyway I'd just save my self the stress and do it from
    The off!

    Yeah I have seen a picture of Benn... His finger must be as large as my forearm, so I think I will at least have a go without removing the fairings.

    What do the zip ties tie to, just the 2 brackets on top the rad???
