Hi all, I've taken delivery of my new Scorpion back box. It has come with a fitting kit consisting of the things listed in the picture. Is there anything else I'll need to get before I ask the local garage to fit it.. I haven't got the stuff I need to fit it and looking at the existing bolts they will need some heat to persuade them to come off. I've been quoted about 2 hrs Labour, I don't think the garage wanted to do it but I'm looking then at about £100 to get it fitted.
Advice welcomed as always folks :)

HI I think 2 hr labour is a lot. Any garage would get it off in half an hour 45 mins max I think they seen you coming

You're probably right, but I got the impression they didn't want to do it hence the excessive quote. I've not paid nor will I pay for 2hrs Labour, I thought an hour tops.
The other garage I'd use I've not been for a quote yet but they are an MG specialist but also have a habit of finding other stuff wrong,

Hi Scott

Can't see an exhaust gasket on your list, and you're going to need one.
I have enough tools etc at my house to fit if you fancy doing the job yourself, and saving money.
Just give me a shout.
