Hi Gos,

Veeery Nice! - Mike Satur I presume?

I got a set off Fleabay a few weeks ago and I can't waite to get 'em fitted, (BRG & cream leather).

One question - Apart from the modified metal bar that the hoops drop into, (with speakers, etc) did you get another right-angled piece of metal approx same length as metal bar with 4 bolt holes in it and if so, where does it fit?

I spoke to Mike Satur when I bought mine and her very kindly sent up a set of fitting instructions but with no reference to the thin metal right angled-bar. The instructions are perfect in every other respect.

Happy motoring mate!

Cheers!

Richard

Hi Richard,
the L shaped piece of metal fits along the rear edge of the main bar. It is where the three studs for the tonneau cover fit into.:bye:

Apart from the fact that two of the securing screw go into the hoops, it's not too difficult. tbh.

Oh wow mate they really do look the biz! It's so nice actually after a mega busy week (worked 72 hours in the last 7 days!) to come back and see everyone making such fab modifications to their Fs/TFs! Really makes me happy to see everyone's pride & joys coming along beautifully! :grouphug:

David, I am actually not happy with the t bar "fit" so will be taking them off to make some adjustments, in which case I might fit them (angle bits), any advice (pics) would be appreciated mate :)

incidentally there are no screws with them, any idea what I need.

ps thanks kara :)
