Mine came today so going to be fitting them this evening, got subframes which look like they have everything to replace the subframes on there now... was wandering if i will need anything off the standard frames or whether its a case of unbolting the old one and bolting in the new subframe?

Pretty sure i know what to do with the pre tensioner in just putting the fork in then attaching it to the new subframe with the buckle and when its all done remove the fork and place it back in its original place?

Thanks in advance

Rob

NOOOOOOO Ash

tensioner will only go off if you batter it with a hammer

and you dont have to replace them, the fork is there to eliminate the need to do that

even without it it wont go off

No never have much luck when im with you and messing with springs !!!!

Thats cool Rob thanks for that , Going to have to use the standard belts for a month until i can afford harnesses, going to get some silver Luke ones

Hopefully wont have to drill a hole to bolt the buckle onto the subframe
