The clue may have a misprint in definition.
Also some answers are too short.

1. Pests cut heavy metal following pop group on the radio (11, 2 words)

29. Do cartwheels to kiss Flash Harry (5)

3d. Elizabethan scarfs are as they made it – in pieces (7)

24d. Acceleration and velocity on foot of black box? (7)

Thanks.

1 A. Leaf Beetles, pests. Lea(d) F(ollowing) Beetles, sounds like Beatles.

29 Tulip, Flash Harry, show-off. Tu = Ut, aa variant of do (doh), music, reversed (cartwheels) + Lip, kiss.
3 D. Affears, old (Elizabethan) word for Scares. Anagram of 'are as' and FF, abbreviation meaning 'made it'.

Hankir, you're welcome. The FF was new to me too. Chambers had more info than I gave you, but I'd had enough of typing, stabbing at a keyboard by then!
