Additional Aux plug fitted today

[Kiwicol]

The Aux plug finally arrived so I set about installing it. The hardest part is getting the plug & wire to where it's needed, took ages. 2nd hardest part (for me) was getting the rubber boot on over the plug. I tried normal way, then inside out then inside out with lube, nope wasn't having it. It was more difficult than you'd expect as I had no extra wire I could get out to get a good grip on things. Then the light bulb went on, I got some circlip pliers that open when squeezed, put them in the small end of the rubber boot & presto, the boot spread open so I could easily get it over the plug. The rest is as the fitting instructions, went easy after that.

So the point of this is a tip, to use circlip pliers to open the boot enough to slip over the plug. Happy daze all.
