Just got round to fitting mine today (yes ordered back in June!).

Any tips for getting the bolt through the hole in the boot? Twice I've dropped it and got very frustrated trying to fish it out.

Best thing to use is a bit of bluetack inside the socket!

I cant get the socket in. How do you get that rubber bung out that gets in the way, brute force? Anyway I need a new bolt lol, yep it went down to the land of no return, can you tell me what size it is please so I can go out and buy one?

thanks.

ill take 1 in black please

pm me ya details m8

Screw the black bung out.

I found the best way regarding losing bolts is thread an old brake cable from a bike (99p from wilkos) through the hole at the bottom and poke the bolt out.

I might be intrested in one! Can they be painted any other colours. Wouldnt mind it being in red. Plus what people have said they appear to be abit more troublesome to fit than the forge one?

I can leave them bare metal - they can be then painted any colour you like - they are a little more fiddley to fit - but they are almost half the price!!

I'm sure they are 25mm long, 10mm bolts.

Names and colour (bare metal so you can do with it as you like, or painted satin black)

You're based near me.......Getting some stuff powdercoated VRS green if you fancy getting this and a Seat front strut brace done at same time :-)

I'll get a picture of mine tommorow.

For the record, I went from a Forge to this, 100% reccoemend.

Thanks for the recommendation! That means alot!

Nice to know what i made works well!

are you making anymore of these m8?

How do these fit?

Between the two rear wheel arch sides, just behind where the back seats would be, I reckon.

Here's mine in matching green to my front strut brace, both anti roll bars, and brakes.

Next job is to get my Coilover springs in green too lol.

Because I don't run back seats, the bar in my car would just get in the bloody way Still interested though.

Where'd you get the tool bags?

Where'd you get the tool bags?

Off the forum mate, off some bloke. Never seen any on here since lol.

They are skoda items.

Gah. If they've got part numbers that'd be great

I'll be making a few more of these over the next few weeks! Another 5 enough??

Im interested. . Do you send all the bolts with them? Or are they already in the car?. . May need to wait till payday (2weeks) till i get payed.

Don't forget - I call dibs hahaha

I include the bolts required to fit the bar to the car! When fitting them i highly recommend using a small bit of bluetac inside the socket to hold the bolt or the chance are you will drop it!!!

I do them in bare metal or satin black paint. Please incluse how you would like your bars beside your name on the list.

Ok people anyone else want to add their name to the list?? A few people said earlier in the thread they'd still like one?

I have managed to find a new steel supplier and maybe able to bring the prices down a bit for the next batch - but it depends on how much steel I buy - the more people I get the cheaper they will become!
