Title: Bagster
Post by: geraldo on March 14, 2014, 17:41:20

Just got a new Bagster Tank cover for my 2010 Wee.

Anyone have any photos of one fitted to similar ??

Should the fixing bolt on the bottom of the black plastic trim go through the hole on the  bottom end of the Cover, if it does then it is really tight and I don't want to damage it....

Going away for a couple of days next weekend and I want it right. :shrug:

Thanks in anticipation.......

The cover uses the bolt that holds the black tank plastic and the side fairing in place on each side to hold it in place. Get them in and tightened first then you do the strap and the tank and around the front of the frame. It's a good tight fit if you do it properly.

Take the plastic covers off and put the bolts in as normal. Leave them in overnight then remove them and re-attach the panels and it will remain in situ until you get them tightened..

A [s:1yckfznl]3000W[/s:1yckfznl] 1200W halogen heater with 3 elements that you can switch individually is great for a cold garage. Turn it on when you walk into the garage with all 3 bars on and in about 20 minutes you can turn two of the elements off and be cosy all day. You might even start getting too warm and you could turn it off all together.

I have one like this, works a charm:

I thought it was a 3000W, but it turns out I have a 1200W heater, I just went to go check. That's even better, it'll cost less to run.
