Just ordered the mystical RLETs, but the Aussie version, so I will have to rotate them so as not to be upside down!!
Pics and accompanying swear words to follow after I have tried to fit them.

You know something, CTsCB? I ordered the Aussie version of RLETs some #752 posts ago when I started this thread. Somewhat to my surprise, they were the same part number as the US RLETs. I'm still not sure why. But they fit, although I think the left one went on the right lever and the right one on the left. I'm still not sure.

Let me know how you get on. Beer

Guess that makes me an "us" in training... I have the RLETs but they have resisted all my attempts to install them!

Installing RLETs is a journey all Padawan learners make take alone. Do, or do not. There is no try...

Or get NEMO (IIRC) to install them in under 11 seconds! Smile

Heat them in the sun or use a hair dryer or however you want. Use some lube like WD-40 or some members used spit, and a rag or paper towel to get a grip, and worry them on.

Nemo is amazing. We need him to do a video on installing RLETs. It would be a short movie.

Nemo is out of action. I think he suffered a RLET injury! The force is out of balance. Spit and a cloth rag to enhance grip is required. Heating is for whims. Do some exercise to strengthen your grip. The rally is coming up and a new opportunity for RLET champion is possible

More spit, and side to side rocking action. Maybe my spit is extra slippery!

If I ever get another chance at putting some on again I will try those rubberized gloves to improve grip.
