Don't forget to buy a 1/2" drill bit before you start! :santa:
S.
Oh snapz. You mean it doesn't velcro on like my style bar? ;)
I'm sure I could find this information if I looked hard enough, but I'm lazy. Which bar did you buy?
S.
I moved this over to Miata Tech and Chat...
and by the way, if you need the appropriate sized drill bit, you're welcome to borrow mine. It's a life saver.
My brother probably has one. I'll let you know though.
And what bar did I get?
It's a secret!! ::Banana::
Now Samm is going to lock the thread :D
JK. Actually it's the HDHB. I'm on a budget, plus it looks nice.
TOOLS NEEDED:
* Wrenches
* 16mm or 5/8"
* ‘94 & later - 17mm or 11/16"
* 2 - 9/16"
* 10mm
* #2 phillips head screwdriver
* hack saw or aviation snips for cutting plastic interior panels
* belt sander or half round file for fitting plastic interior panels
* T-40 torx drive for removable hard top latches - obviously not everyone will need this one
Oh sure, it comes in AFTER it gets dark and I don't have a good work light and it's cold outside. Guess I gotta wait for tomorrow :(
::Censor:: ::Rant::
Well.... this is going to wait until the tech day.
First off, it didn't come with instructions. I guess they decided everyone who buys a bar will need "professional installation"..
So I jump on Raven Wing's website and print out the instructions, foreseeing a quick installation.
Yeeeaaaah.
I dutifully begin removing trim panels etc, working away, knowing that it will be dark shortly.
So I finish removing the seatbelt bolts and check the next step of instructions. It says "GO TO SEAT BELT REEL & GUIDE INSTRUCTIONS".
I look through the instructions. There isn't a section called that. So I jump back on the internet thinking again that there would be a simple process.
They could have told me I would need a freakin grinder before I started this.
I got fed up and put everything back together :(
So.. anybody have experience with the HDHB? Maybe I'm just grumpy tonight. But I don't feel like taking a grinder to my car without help.
I'll go ahead and put the :cat: before Bean does ;)
I was actually going to :clap: you... I remember when I did my rollbar I did it all by myself and wished I had the help. I feel your pain! ::Oscar::Quote:

YMMV
