Would need the bulkhead hole being drilled in a different place.

I bought a similar second hand pair in very good conditon for more than £100 cheaper but I haven't fitted them to my Wedge yet. You do need to drill the holes I believe about an inch away from the original holes.

I too paid less than that for the ones on Samy. Luckily, the Reserve came with them fitted.

Fitted the mock up today. Looking good, straight into the existing mounts and works a treat. My camera on my phone is S*** but here we go.

The dowell pins will be replaced with smooth head ones. Two types of finish on this one, polished and matt. Mine will be matt as the polished ones will be a nightmare to avoid finger marks. Thoughts are £175 matt £200 polished.

Email me if your interested and from here on will converse directly with those interested. andyeley@gmx.com

For those who have emailed me for these you will hear from Tom at Mtech very shortly go get the ball rolling for yours.

My finished product will be here Tuesday I will post some pictures

He does have the original mock up that if you wanted to size up on your own car you could have for a couple of days on a refundable deposit basis.

So the final product is in and installed. Have to say its a proper piece of craftmanship and Tom at M-Tech who has done the machining has excelled himself.



If anyone else would like any drop Tom an email directly

m-tech.eng@hotmail.co.uk

Good news all round really as if you dont want them now you can get them in the future as he has the specs required.

Cheers all..
