got the buggy back from the garage today. it now has a handbrake, a passenger seat thats actually attached and a brakes that work! huzzah! waited ages for a new rocker gasket to arrive to fix the oil leak. i guess i should have told him it was a brand new one already in there... there was a blockage in the brake lines apparently so the brakes would go on but wouldnt come off since there was less pushing back when the brake pedal was brought up. i thought it was hard to push it into the garage... also anyone know if these will fit straight on? the current ones clip on but these look like they bolt on. I'm hoping they will be a better fit than the chrome ones i have now whilst still looking shinyish

goaferboy in da house: also anyone know if these will fit straight on?
Yepp if you find a complete kit, there are bolts that fits on the rocker arm mounts then it's a 100% bolt on and they will be much less prone to leaks than the stock "clip on"....

Just make sure they're a decent casting - even genuine clip-on ones are a better seal than cheapo bolt-on ones but if you get the decent quality bolt-on covers then you'll never leak again. get' em from a decent supplier and avoid pretty coloured packaging and you'll be fine

if it were me, i wouldnt buy ANYTHING from Big Boys Toys. I have had SO many troubles from them, and i know many many others who have had problems too. personally, i think the clip ons are great and see no reason to change. I know the CSP bolt ons are very very good.
