T-bar fitting

[LAMBRETTLAD]

Hi
I'm just about to fit a different t-bar (thanks to Jeff ),

this might be a daft question but can it possibly be a case of unbolt one and fit the other? or the normal ultra-complicated Stag way ?

Thoughts very very welcome .

cheers Alex

I'd remove the B post trims and wedge a 4x2 or even better a porta power between the b posts although you might be lucky and get away with a straight swap

It can vary massively from one car to another.

You may need an assistant to push or pull B posts or T bar but it's usually do-able

fit the front end in first but not to tight,you may have to lift the back end up one side at a time

I found it helped to use longer b post bolts than the standard ones. And 3 people....
Don't forget to start with the front part before the rear.

Malc where did you get the longer bolts from ?
cheers Alex

ps are you going to Duxford next weekend ?

Robsport l think, or the local ironmongers...

The car tends to sag without the T bar so plank of wood and trolley in the centre jack up until bolt holes line up

Dude ! Why do you need to Replace the T-bar ?

[LAMBRETTLAD]

Hi My t-bar covering needs replacing ,and I don't fancy the hassle of trying to fit a new cover at almost £90 ,plus the padding underneath and ending up with a rubbish job ,I'm really craggy handed with out a spanner /driver in my hand .

[LAMBRETTLAD]

Done!!!! pig of a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ,not helped by robsport sending wrong bolts for the front ,had to reuse the old ones !!!!
