Mind your fingers

Now finished the rear suspension - caliper bolts go to 35Nm (it is written in the Assembly Guide at the end of the Rear Suspension section).

While fitting the rubber beading along the sill, I was struggling with a stubborn rivet and all of a sudden it locked into place and the rivet tool slammed shut with my middle finger trapped between the two arms. Cue a huge amount of pain, a lot of wailing, a surprisingly small amount of swearing and a large blood-blister on the end of my finger.

My hearing seemed to have a rest for about 20 minutes after I did it too. Very bizarre...
