excellent bit of kit though well worth the cash

cheers

Post by: Hurdy on March 09, 2010, 06:03:01 pm: I've got some KW adjustable top mounts for mine. Haven't fitted them yet as not sure I need to, but they are interchangeable and I got them for less than Â£200 :jumping:

Post by: owen lcr on March 09, 2010, 06:12:33 pm: Well thats a bonus if i dont need to spend an extra few hundred on mounts then, i have asked julian if he can do something better than Â£1200
