I didnt want to cut my body so removed the lever (which can be done from above by removing 3 bolts) I then cut the lever in the middle of the swan neck, rotated it about 2-3mm and welded it back togeather. Clears fine now and I know I still have a seal to prevent water coming in through gaiter/body and I havent invited rust to fresh cut metal

Well done mate - no point buying a nice looking one to take it off road as you'll just wince everytime you scratch it!
Come on then, where's the piccies???

sounds like a good way of doing it. How do you get at these 3 bolts?

Is it just a case of lifting the carpet (somehow) and I will be able to get at the 3 bolts?
