Fitting new roll bars
« on: June 02, 2010, 06:14:12 pm »
Anyone fitting new roll bars may want to know that the rear is a doddle and the frot isnt to bad apart from the clamp i have showed in the pic below. Once oem bar is removed you have to reuse the front clamp however the rear pne new clamps are supplied which is sh*te. This is due to the fact the clamp looks like 2 pices so you think ok easy. however in reality it is one piece that has to be broken apart and then as you refit the bar you have to hold the nut on the top as you try and bolt it down through the subframe which is a pain in the ass! Is this the same as the golf then?

same deal on the octavia as well.   :happy2:

do any of the manufacturers supply new clamps with their ARBs.  that could persuade me to go with them. getting the original bushes back under the clamps was a ninja test on mine
