Default Re: The trials and Tribulations of Buying a Euro Bumper

definately not for Carlisle as far as the bumper goes. Might not even be here by then. And if I take it to a good shop, how long should a suspension drop take? a day? two? I have all the parts, I just need a free weekend or sometime when I'm not working to get it to a shop.

If the shop isn't a bunch of noobs, they should be able to get the rear bolts out with a torch (they HAVE to be heated, they're almost always seized in the bushings). If they snap a bolt, who knows how long it could take.

Without any problems, it should be done in a few hours.

Cool, then I might have the suspension done the weekend before Carlisle.

Haven't called BAT to ask about it yet, but you can probably get it through them. You can get it from "the site we won't name" or look around here on the forums for someone selleing random euro parts

It shouldn't be too difficult. The crash bar is bolted on, I believe.

^^Yes it appears to be. I poked my head under there to look at the set up the other day.
