Hi all
Got my grey boot C5, its missing the clamps which secure the inner side of the battery, think its 2 screws holding them in place - both sides missing. I want the C5 just right, so if anyone has these bits then let me know.

Also the cone type nuts which secure the rear wheels on, where the bearings run on. Sorry for the bad description, havent got the parts list with me today.

Cheers, Paul

Karl

Hey Karl

Let me check later tonight.
I managed to secure a cone bearing, not sure on condition but it should arrive in the next few days, but im still after the clamp/metal part, but if i need it i will likely take it all .

I'll come back in the next few days once the bits i brought arrive!
Cheers,

My battery strap was in a very poor state when I got the C5 but it was easy enough to make a replacement as 1" webbing and plastic buckles are readily available to buy.

I'm a bit of a cheapskate and sometimes use a bungy strap...or sometimes just move the small black "bracket" from the back to the front of the battery to stop the battery from sliding forwards  :o :o
