Hardtop rear screen demister power
Hi guys need some info on this...
I've just fitted a hardtop on my 87 Cab
It didn't originally have the hardtop prep kit installed from factory so I fitted some brackets myself however I can't find the wires that plug into the pins to power the rear screen demister?

Anyone used these and can comment on the fit?
I've Berber bought any panels off them for the e30 but I have for my corolla and civic
Very good fit but a lot thinner than the metal I cut off the car!

Rear headrests retro fit
Hi guys/girls just need a bit of advice on this one....
I want to fit headrests to the rear seat of my cab. I have the headrests and a full fitting kit the only thing I'm unsure on is where I need to cut the leather to make holes for the headrests.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah man that should be good!
Like any other paint job Spending good time on prep work is the key to a good long lasting finish!
Been looking into it for a while so really looking forward to getting on with it

Also forgot to mention I need a live ignition feed that remains live while car is started but goes out once key is out?
Would I find that on the accessories socket?

Brake bleeding sequence?
Hi guys/girls
I've just finished fitting new brakes on my car aswell as braided hoses etc..
The brake hydraulic system is pretty much empty and as such I need to top up and bleed the system.
I need to know the sequence and any other advice/ information regarding this.
Thanks in advance!!
