UNIbraces XB & UB - Review (UPDATED 23rd Oct)....

[RedRobin]

 I wish I had bought mine to enjoy when I first saw a group buy on R32OC a couple of years ago. But perhaps they didn't offer red ones then.

More than that, I think the UB only came out about a year ago and the XB has had several revisions since it first appeared.

....Ah, so Madame Fate played a hand and kept me back for a good reason.

Just for info guys, I met up with David Houghton at Inters.
His blue R32 was signwritten with UNIBrace down the sides and went up the quarter mile a couple of times.

I'd been given his email as a contact from Bruce and had been in comms the few days before Inters, I collected a black XB off him to save a posting cost.

Not sure if he is yet on the forum, however I think he is intending to join us.

Within the chat we had i mentioned the recent group buy on here and review written by RR, so guess as he's Bruce's UK distribution man, I expect he'll be keen to help with an UNIbrace products and info.

The email address as quoted in earlier posts is correct. However if anyone needs his mobile pm me, as I'm sure he won't mind.
I've not posted it here, as I'm not sure of the rules of posting other peoples numbers on a thread.

Just gotta get both braces fitted now.

XB and UB fitted today 

only had chance to do short journey home but first impressions positive.

3 hrs labour, so £120.00 all in fitted for those wondering 

[DFish]

Jesus 3 hours = £120 (£40 per hour!!!!) where the hell are you based. That £120 is almost 1.5 hours down here! :(

....You're not going to like this, Fish, but my VW dealership workshop charges me £25 per hour.

That was in 1962 though!

Cheaper if you DIY it!

....Of course. But that assumes you have both the skills and the equipment. I have neither.

like RR, i could not have fitted XB, I would still be doing it now (ever seen that episode of the simpsons where Homer tries to erect that BBQ in his garden, exactly like me ha ha)

i could have got it done for £30.00 an hour but would not have been able to have walked home and walked back to pick it up.

been for more of a run today, definately seems to have tightened things up but fairly subtle i would say but still need to find a quieter, better road

....You need a rollacoaster quiet B-road ideally. With good visibility ahead, obviously.
