Last strut bar we had powder coated in titanium metallic grey a colour that looks stunning in sunlight was £12.00 but that included shot blasting. You can have them in bare metal cheaper no problem  ... |

For the sake of an extra £12, I'd personally go for the best looking one.
But happy with the cheaper one if that's the consensus.

| I didn't think £12 was bad and its a lot harder wearing than normal paint. |

| I would have thought £12 extra for a fantastic, powder coated finish was a no-brainer myself... |

The tube is going to the tube benders Monday and i have been told i should have them back within two weeks so it will be a month before they are ready. The back bars have been a proper pain to get bent but i don't give up easy  .... |

I'm going to have to bail on this one.
I've found a front and rear bar going for a good price here in australia already
Thanks anyway and goodluck with the project |

The tube bending people have no concept of time  but Ive been told i should have the front bars back next week. The back bars they would have to make the tooling and that's a £1000.00  I have a few more options yet though;). One option is to invest in my own tube bender so i don't have to deal with idiots > . I have some spare 40x20 flat oval and can do some under body braces identical to the garage john items if anyone's intrested? I can do them straight away because no one else is involved. |

Depending on the material It shouldnt be too heavy at all i dont think,
I was going for the small ones because they would be easier to ship to australia!

| I can do both without doubt but like Kayfour said the three separate bars would fit easier in a jiffy bag . The halfway brace leaves the aluminium cover in place so i could use the same fixing point as that one and just leave the bars out between. Ill make all the bars out of 30x15 flat oval. The end bars same as smart51 made last time and three intermediate bars that go on the tunnel and the aluminium shield can be left in place. |

| That aluminium cover is turned down at the front and i'm not sure if its like that to grab air for cooling things down in there .With or without the cover the bars would fit the same. |

| Ive had a bit of a measure up for the tunnel brace and the ali plate steps down away from the floor pan some 12mm so its going to reduce the ground clearance by another 16mm on top of that when the frames bolted on. I don't think much ground clearance can be achieved by removing the plate has the exhaust is mm away from the other side. that's if you have a 50mm exhaust like mine.The ali plate does act to guide air into the tunnel has its turned down at the front and has two sculpted slots after the front with there trailing edges turned down also. |
