In the words of the man himself (after a brief search for ''solid guibo fitting'')
Theo325 wrote:It's a matter of grinding the rivet heads off on the rubber guibo, tapping out the remains of the rivet and the fitting the new guibo with the specific nuts and washers from BMW.
Theo325 wrote:From BMW they are about £9 from memory. In reality any M8 bolt with a washer and locknut would suffice, you pay a premium for the BMW parts as they are a specifically shaped/designed to replace the rivets found in the rubber guibo and as such are quite expensive.
