It does.

Thing with shot in stays is they've gotta be right on the 1st cut- with top eyes you can have a play. Cut too short with a shot in stay and there's 30 quid (plus time) up the shitter.

It's a pain. Arse of a way to make a living and frankly unsustainable these day with the amount of kit you need allied with the competition. leave them to it.

Since lugs went all boring and "Italian" a nicely turned out seat cluster was the next best thing
