Which pedal covers did you get! Are they genuine TT ones?

Afternoon Erling,
Those pedals look fantastic. Great addition Sir.
Kind regards,

My father found them online. They’re listed as for a polo I think but just Chinese knock off stuff I think.
Needed a bit of fettling as the accelerator in a 1.2 doesn’t have a rubber cover it transpires, it’s just a single piece of plastic.

Today, I removed a complete head from a 1.4 AUA to put on a tappety AUA engine, I was surprised as how easy it came off.
so hopefully will be transferring it & the hydraulic lifters over to the noisy car next week.
very satisfying when things go without a hitch, very happy
I must remember to take some pictures,

Today I spent a few hours with Tom @timmus who has fitted cruise and I now have working heated Mk1 TT leather seats which I'm sure will come in handy in the winter months.
Glad you approve of the new type of seat mounting for a TT seat.
Great to meet up and chat A2 and life in general and just 50 mins from home.
Thanks once again to Tom & his skills, enjoy your soon to be walking / climbing trip and the biscuits.

I'm hunting for a thread that I'm sure I read recently but google search is not helping.
It concerned an owner who fitted Polyurethane Bushes to the rear axle. He had fitted brand that did not fit but the company were very accommodating and machined up ones to suit. Who was he and what make?
I note the main brands that come up with search are Powerflex and PSB but the PSB ones rotate. I thought I read that the A2 bushes have cavities that must be aligned in a certain fixed direction.

Rear Axle Bushes
Hello, As some other users are taking care of their rear axle and I need to do the same with my A2: 1. Does anybody used bushes from Fabia RS ( 6Q0501541E available as MEYLE 100 710 0008/S)? Those are full rubber ones and I reckon that will provide the best lifespan after installation. What...

Yes I fitted Powerflex bushes on the rear axle but found that I couldn't get them back into the casting under the car. I took measurements and images and contacted Powerflex and they kindly machined some of the same bushes to the size I needed. It was a tight fit, (a bit of a pain) to get the axle back in but got there with lots of silicone grease, jack's, bars and podger bars to align up the holes for the bolts.
All has been good since I got it back together though.

Hi Stan. I just sent you a PM before I realised that you had replied. I'm fitting them with the axle off the car so I presume I should have no major issues and will not need them modified.
