I think it is a bracket to stop the backbox folding. My blackout has one. The metal plate slides under another lip to prevent the back box falling down.
 
The old ones were so worn due to being unlevel I just replaced them. Glued em in level with epoxy then sealed em with a uv activated clear coat I'll get u the name later as I'm at me mums at the mo
 
Opinions please guys when I tumbled all the light sockets I didn't take the diodes off so they now look like this lol

Should I replace them? I'm thinking yes but what way should the diode line go?
 
Does anyone have any pics of how the under pf lighting braid should be? Half mines missing including whatever's ment to be there to connect the pop lamps :0/
 
It's been a while so thought I'd update. Inserts now all level, pf cleaned and waxed. Just about to start replacing the lighting braid stuff on the underside as most of that is missing

Looking good Rudi. I've gotta a load of inserts to level on my F14. What technique did you use? Any top tips?
Cheers mate
 
Depends how bad they are over half of these were pretty much hanging out. If they are hanging out and badly worn heat up the insert using a heat gun and gently tap it out using a similar sized socket. Sand off any damage using wet and dry of various grades (how far you have to go is dependant of the amount of damage). So either just enough to remove the damage or all the way to redecal then clear the insert when finished. Clean the hole the insert was in out and the outer edge of the insert. Apply so epoxy to the ridge in the hole and use a block of wood and deep throated (quiet dan lol) g clamp to insert it in level. If the insert is just slightly raised with no damage then heat it up and use the clamp and block to push it down level then apply some glue around the inner edge to make it stronger
 
Cheers mate. They're only slightly raised. I was gonna heat them up and hammer them flat with a block of wood. But in doing this I think I would rattle the machine to pieces, so i like the idea of the clamp.
Would you mind posting a pic of the clamp so I know what to look for.
Cheers dude
 
Ok so ive just finished replacing the lighting braid with the help of Andy b's photos he kindly sent.

Edited due to me re reading Andy's email.

Here's how mine is looking ignore the scribbling it is my system of remembering it will be cleaned off.
