What are people treating/conditioning rubber seals with? Like door seals, I know of a ZYMOL product, just wondered if there was any old school methods, like linseed or dub of something daft like that before I spend some cash

I use something called Gummi Pflege. It looks like a Pritt stick, and stops the rubber from sticking, etc. -- especially when it's freezing. Someone on here recommended it, but can't remember who.... It works very well, and seems to last for ages!
Can I use jap/USA import style rear number plates on my 126?
the actual plate..?,
or the carrier/ bracket/ background ??
think a " carrier" would make it more individual l- without MOT, etc legality hassles,

I'm sure you can, though I don't think the backend lends itself to the square plate style.
I mean a yellow plate with my numbers on but in the dimensions of the import plates seen on some jap/USA cars?
I can't see why not... -- I had one on the back of my Isuzu Bighorn (Jap import) -- as long as the lettering is legally spaced, etc.. (There are guys who advertise in the back of Practical Classics who make plates in all shapes and sizes, etc..)
Thanks homie I'm sure it would. I'm just toying with the idea but may well stick with the original UK one

I see..,
didn't really get the question,
if you want a UK style ( legal) "square plate" go to EBAY,
cheap as you get.. AND you can normally add a little text / Italian Tricolore, for a quid..!!
that's where I go for all my bike plates

What should I use to refit a alloy wheel wheel balance weight that came off when I put my winter tyres on?
Grey, but I'm colour blind
may be i am too then because its arrived and is actually dark green, like British racing green
Solder, but the balance is unique to tyres i thought
it is and their position,
Solder?
It looks like it was a double sided sticky foam pad origionally. I know the wheel and exact possition is came from, as was when I was cleaning the inside of the rim with a brush after having removed the wheels for winter storage.
Just need to know what to use to stick it back into place until the tyres are removed as I suspect normal sticky foam pads wouldn't be up to it
got some 2 pack epoxy resin?
you can solder things together most of the time
you can solder things together most of the time
But will it not then be bonded for good meaning it can't be removed when the tyre is replaced and the wheel rebalanced at a later date
