The stainless one from Dgo, you have to cut out a small channel on the inside of the roof to fix them. Then fill with expanding foam after a little sealant round the bolts.

Ive just received the cutting disc for my dremel so i will be attempting this soon. I have the roof box bolted down now so after this i can stop worrying about the torsion bar area for a while

I used a hack saw blade to elongate the channel. I also used a tool shaped like a large hook to remove the foam. Then same as has already been said.

Hi Guy's

I make these for Arran & DeloreanGo

Bear with me I'll make another batch soon, now that things are getting back to "normal"
