If Ingers doesn't want them then I'll buy them off you. failing that can you tell me where you got them from please?
I'm in Hampshire too so could come and collect if necessary - good excuse for a ride through the Forest.
Contact infor in my profile.

Awesome - they're about a 10 min walk from my house - and I'm off on Monday too - if they'll sell a slack handfull to Joe public then I reckon I'm sorted !

Thanks a lot - it sounds like the roofbox will be going to France - more room for RED on the trip home .....

Hi Bob
Let me know how you get on as I would like to fit roof bars to my 3rd Gen before my holiday in August.
Cheers

Keith,

If they'll sell to Joe Public do you want me to pick up 8 for you ?

I drive to Staines most days and can easily make a minor detour into Basingstoke.

Hi Bob
Thanks for the offer - it would be great if you could pick up a set for me.
I live near Tadley, so that would be quite a detour for you. I'm sure that we could make some arrangement to meet somewhere convenient and swop Surf info!!
If they will only sell to a company then let me know and I can dig out all the old letterheads from my wife's old company.
I apologise if I don't repy to posts or e-mails - I am having lots of problems with my internet connection at the moment.
Thaks again for the offer.
Cheers

Sorted - mine are now fitted - proper job !

The only minor difficulty is that my other half has mislaid the keys for the roofbox .......

TU4715 Thule Rapid system tracker adapter kit no.4715 £25.49

just wondering why you had to use the zebedees...

you've got the wrong fitting kit!

the 4710 is the one you want... i've got the 4712 which also fits but doesn't slide over the track mounting bolts... need to tap it a bit.

Tow bar now fit on my Surf from Towequipe (http://www.towequipe.co.uk/) and very easy to do, it came with all the fitting and instuctions which easy to follow. Costs aprox £110 with stainless bumper protector and twin electrics.

Just be sure to paint your Towequipe towbar before you fit it cos it's only got a very thin coat of paint on it and it will start to rust within a month !!

Can someone enlighten me as to the difference between the 4715 & 4710 Thule fitting kit?

Can't find anywhere that will show me the difference and any stockists just tell me "they are completely different".

Thanks

Bringing this one back from the dead I know, but I found it really useful.

I just wanted to say that I got the 6mm Zeb springs from http://wydels.co.uk/product_type.asp?typeID=177 these guys. THey usually sell in 100s but they were really helpful and sent me 4. I couldnt find anyone local.

Thats it really, just if you wanted to do this yourself, thats ahandy place to source the 6mm unistrut nuts.
