    Sorry boys. I just happened to be surfing craigslist last night at 930 when I stumbled on this. Hehe it's even hardtop version. Now if only I'd find a $400 hardtop lol

    Of course, no hardware kit so I get to build some backing plates except one rear and buy some bolts. Anyone have a kit that's not installed so I can see what bolts it comes with and what the front mounting plate looks like?

    I emailed 15 min after the posting stamp at 930. I thought there was no way someone would beat me to it. You're quick my friend

    The install instructions have an inventory of the nuts/bolts/washers it comes with on the front page... I think they are downloadable in PDF on their site. Just be sure to get the highest grade bolts you can find. When I moved my old bar into my wife's Miata, I replaced all the bolts with ones from the bins at my local hardware store. They started snapping when I tried to torque them to the harddog specs, so I ended up having to buy better ones.

    The nuts and bolts I can buy grade 8 and be good. It came with one rear mounting plate and it looks easy enough the fab. It didn't come with a front mounting plate and I don't know what that looks like to refab one.

    It looks like Bethania charges $10/plate. Not a terrible cost considering my time.

    I told him to call my cell as soon as he could and I'd be there. But your email must have been at the top of his inbox. Just luck I suppose.

    I don't trust the Home Depot bolts to be actually grade 8. Make sure that they have the proper markings for a grade 8 bolt as well.

    Good move. Any time I respond to a cl ad, I give them my cell and tell them I have cash in hand and will pick up their merchandise as soon as they call me.

    You can order all the hardware from Bethania. That's what I'd do. It might be a bit more expensive but you'll also get the bolt covers for the top of the seat belt tower.
    ...and across the line.

    ya I think that's the plan. Saving money on the bar is one thing (as long as it's not "used"). Saving $50 on the mounting kit might be foolish if you were relying on it.

    This is why you NEVER put the good deals on this website, common sense.
