Hi Mr B
I can't find the year of your Zed but remember it is very difficult to retrofit roll bar hoops on Zed made before 1/97. Not impossible but......it is not an easy task.

the car is a nov 1997 - if that helps?

nuts and bolts, drilling etc i can do, its knowing why that i dont understand LOL

All nuts and bolts and no drilling. Your car will have both the outer tube with its predrilled bolt holes and the predrilled holes for the inner mounts as well. You just need the bits - a comprehensive list is given in the knowledgebase, but if you are buying a complete set from a scrappy, then it should come with more bits than you need.

Cheers R.

Very few members sell up, maybe 1 or 2 sets in 3 years. But if you are looking for a cream set, then best brew some coffee, as it could be a long wait.

There is a set on ebay right now - think i posted the link up on another thread.

just keep phoning the breakers - all of them every 3 days and you might find a set that way.

thats what i had to do

the ones on ebay are only the hoops, not the full kit and kaboodle that i need!

thanks anyway

You might need to get it all piecemeal - that might be faster than waiting on a breakers who might not even have everything anyway.
