Lude Generation

I refitted mine on top of the collars like you have but the old ones were behind them. The boot has been dry since they were fitted over a year ago.

They took about 3 weeks to arrive

They are foam rubber which splits. I got new ones from Amayama in Japan (They are about £30 each in the UK)

Have a look at the rear light gaskets, I had water coming through these and running into the spare wheel well

Have a look for a date on the white label on the seatbelt bottom mount. My UK car says 1998 (although the car was registered in 1999)

I've recently bought part no. 45255-SS0-G00 for the front ones from Amayama.com £21 each and £27 shipping.
According to www.parts-honda.uk website they are the ones for my 5G VTI.

Is the fuel pump relay near the fuse box under the dash on the drivers side on a UK spec car.

This is my sticker for 17" its a got a sticker over a sticker



Mine is an A8 December 1999 ( not a Motegi ) and I've owned it since February 2001 when it was on its original tyres which were 205 not 215 Yokohamas (Honda must not read their own tyre labels !)

I couldn't release the connectors on mine so I cut the connectors out completely on the flexible pipe and metal pipe. I repaired using fuel hose and fuel clips which pushed over both the flexible and the metal pipe. The metal pipe has plastic coating on it further forward which I had to strip back (...

Petrol smell could be pipes rusting through at connection to flexi pipes from tank.
They are located behind a plastic cover at left side of car near rear wheel and can be repaired by cutting out rusting part and replace with hose and steel clips.
