Alternate Fixes / "Bodges" - Thinking outside the Box :{)

I've taken the airbox off numerous times in the last week and one of the rubber bands has catapulted off "somewhere" never to be found.

Where can I get a replacement from please?

Hi Tim, yes I do and funnily enough I remembered I had those after posting. They would do for the short-term.
Thanks.

Yup the Aldi middle Isle can be full of "useful" stuff....and some stuff that I'm still to find a use for!

So in order not to piggy-back of Phil's "Gordon" thread too much I've updated the title of this and added the latest fix/bodge  :D

So thinking about the seat rail covers and the pins that hold the clips in-place, mine have gone AWOL.
After some local refreshment (tea grown in Yorkshire - see pic??!!) I had an idea or two:

1 - Kite spars from old "Sports Direct" kites - too big
2 - Cocktail Sticks - slightly small but seem to do the trick

And here is what they look like fitted:

Painted & fitted

It will do until I find some plastic ones !
