its a good idea to keep your old hoses with you just incase anything goes wrong, you have a spare one to change over for the ride home, i have my old one in my car as a spare.

sweet looking forward to seeing your pressie lol

very annoyed!

my pressy came in the mail! but, the ebay seller did NOT tell me that the item i bought had a bend in it!

i bought some chrome alloy sports bars for the ute, with a tonneau cover to fit. and to my "suprise" the bars have a nice big bend in them.

its making it so that one of the bars is about 100mm from being bolted on, and the other is 250mm from being bolted on... im NOT happy!
does ANYONE know how to bend aluminium bars back to their original shape? we tryed prying (cant spell?) it with a 12tone jack and a metal beam. kinda so it PUSHES it open and back into position, and it didnt work.
im thinking of using one of those 300degree heat guns and run it over the bend afew times and gently bend it back... maybe that will work. not sure, very angry/annoyed at this! 550$ for something damaged!!!

Damn, that sucks, i would contact the seller about it, and if they dont reply, contact ebay about it. how did you pay for them? pay pal? good pressie though
