Dont like em.

You end up with a speaker so close to the back of your head everything is effectively in mono and capable of giving you a screaming headache.

Just my tuppence

Stew,...

I have a set of VDP pods available for you, if interested. They didn;t fit completely on a 96 due to a bolt on the sports bar.

I didn't want to cut them up, as they are splash proof, so I had replacments sent out by VDP (Free of charge!!).

Interested?

Possibly

Are they the ones that you need to drill holes in the sports bar tho?

The ones I've been looking at appear to just 'strap on'
Title:
Post by: BlueJay on June 09, 2005, 10:41:50 AM
Yup,...

Three holes for each of the pods, two on the rear side bar, one on the cross bar

That's just for show, you put the drill bit in the drill, then you have to run round in circles really fast to make the hole......

What else do you need help with, you know we're always willing to help.

And remember, Don't do the chuck up tight otherwise it'll snatch your arm... keep it loose and then the drill will stop and prevent any damage. :twisted:

another tip... for screw hole, always use a drill bit that's at least 2mm bigger than the hole you want....

yet another tip... Buy screws 2mm bigger than you need too, then they'll fit the holes you drilled above. It is normal to have to drill everything out to the larger size as well.

And finally... Petrol makes a better lubricant than oil... that's why they use it in engines.... so when drilling, use petrol instead.

Evil "Araldite, packing tape and cable ties are all tools that should be used whenever possible." Ed

PS. for those of you that drive Landies*, this is a joke.... go buy a half shaft and relax

*Add any make here so long as it is not a Jeep or Pajero :)

Don't see Packing tape and cable ties on the list.... it'll end in tears I tell ya.

Oh... Plasters.... you need plasters too..... Stops you getting blood on the upholstery when (Note that's not if) you cut yourself.

Bog roll and scelotape work nearly as well.
