My Fabby (Triton) nosecone fitted perfic..
Not under stress at all,
I got 2 tabs at the top and 2 on the bottom rail for fixing.

I said at the time I got it how amazed, shocked, gobsmacked.
I was as to how well it fitted strait out the box..

Mark said "Of course it does....It was made for the Haynes...

If you ain't using a Triton (AKA Saturn) one then I may be a different story

Oi, since when have homebuilders been such perfectionists

We're meant to have only two items in the toolbox, WD40 and ductape. Clearly the nosecone isn't meant to move so we're not going to use the WD40 for it, are we?
