STEERING

Nice to hear from you again Jose. I thought you were visiting La Manga this summer. What happened?

Do you recall what is supposed to be in between of the heat sheilds , as mentioned previously I found bits of cardboard stappled to the back of the sheilds. Is it worth replacing?

Regards,
