You made me go back to the photos I took before I started cheeky blighter. I was already sweating my bits off.
You haven't finished until you stake that nut.Finished the passenger side, waiting for parts for the drivers side. Not doing anything today as my knees are killing me.
And yes I had a tin of red on the shelf calling to me
Mine were this colour...The calipers on mine are a nice even rust colour.
Same here, couple of get offs over the years, ground down the left knee sliding along the road in 1984, then battered it again against a kerb high siding then proper battered it in an industrial fall from height. Locks up when I knell for longer than a minute then mucho pain when I try to stand and straighten my leg again. Back pain and sciatic stuff just for good measure to add to the mix too.
I had a pedestrians step of the central reservation on the A11 in 1980, he bounced and I didn't. Bent the bars 90° did my wrist and knee. Also did a lot of karting which does all sorts of damage. But as you say lots worse than us. I just take my time and manage things. Also helps having a normal car tooSame here, couple of get offs over the years, ground down the left knee sliding along the road in 1984, then battered it again against a kerb high siding then proper battered it in an industrial fall from height.

Keep smiling, there's worse off
I always said if I was ever lucky enough to be in a position to own a nice detached property, with an integral double garage,I've got the work trousers with the knee pad inserts, but it's the actual knee bent for anything over 30 secs that hurts me, 10mins and its too much to bear and I have to roll on my side, slowly straighten my legs and gradually get off the floor with colourful language. Chopping out and soldering the big white connectors in the kick panels took me 3 days, could only do a few minutes at a time.
I've got a pit now which helps a lot on some jobs, really wanted a lift but the council wouldn't let me build the garage that high.
My first thought is glue again for speed and nowt to lose. More permanent, a piece of thin angle drilled and machine screwed to the tangs and through the lamp body, or pop rivets instead of screws or glue the angle to the body only screw to the lugs. I would hate screw heads showing though.
Cheap enough to get another one from a breaker.
