Changing the F125 - can it be easier?
I was just reading some new posts in this thread on RS246.com about a C5 RS6: https://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=142156 (see page 3).
There is mention of a "mod" to make the job easier, which seems (to my untrained eye/brain) to consist of using different bolts and removing some surplus/unnecessary metal in a couple of places turning it into a "ten-minute job"! Does anyone who has been "down and dirty" doing this horrible job have any thoughts as to whether there's anything similar that can be done to simplify the work on a D2 or is it just too different to a C5?
