[s-cars] CPS replacement

[JC]

I think I see the problem... Varon got the BBHME56, whereas I believe the
standard BBAutoMacao CPS replacement is BBHME301.  The BBAM webpage pics
seem to support this - i.e. the 56 has sold rivet blanks.

Varon - suggest you take Chris up on the offer of sending you one..!

Also something I forgot to add to last post - agree that writeup is great
but I take exception to staking with a philips head screwdriver (ugh!). A
simple center punch with a nice conical taper is 100% better idea... and
only $5-6 to use the right tool for the job...
