Title: Tow Hook Reflectors *updated*
Post by: Slacey on July 11, 2003, 13:41
With others asking, plus I want some myself, I have asked Pinmagic over on Spyderchat if he can get hold of some of these babies and ship them over to me - if he can, I shall be giving them away at JAE to those members who want some. If any are left over, I shall give them away to those who can't attend on the day. Should we find I run out, don't worry, no-one will miss out, I'll get more shipped.
And best of all, at no cost to yourselves!   s:D :D s:D  Consider it my way of thanks to the help I've had from all of you   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

The reflectors have arrived! (Thanks to Mongo & led_boy on SC)
As I said previously, I will give these away to JAE attendees first, then ship what's left to those who request them that couldn't make it. I have a couple of names on file, I will be back to you guys in a few days   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Errr wow, that's exceedingly generous of yourself.

I'm definately interested (just been out to check I've got holes to put them in).

Andrew, I will give out what I have at JAE (although there are now complications with actually getting them in time   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  ) and what's left I will gladly post to those who want them. If I run out, I'll get some more, so don't worry about missing out!
PM me your address and I'll sort some out for you after JAE   s:D :D s:D

After what seemed to be doom & gloom yesterday (it didn't look like I was going to get any), our American friends have come through in fine style, no less than three of them got packs for me!   s:D :D s:D
They are now on their way from the states, so fingers crossed I should have them in time.
Also, there are 4 in a pack, 2 red and 2 yellow - not sure of anybodies colour preference but it will have to be first come, first served, with the guys at JAE getting first dibs, but as I said before, if I run out I'll get more shipped.

I'd certainly take a couple of red ones, PM me if you get any more and I'll send you a SAE.

Ta!

Do they not? Bugger!
Sorry guys, I didn't realise, still you could have some anyway and stick them elsewhere (they are adhesive)!   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

I figured out that there are two little holes on the pre-03 model, and the reflectors fit nicely in there, and they look quite good.  

As you can see on the 03 model we dont have the holes

This was 1 hour after the delivery of our 2.  It was the 13th of January.  I took roof-up and roof-down pictures, its just that this was the best photo of the rear and lack of reflector holes.

Just browsing some old messages, and thought i'd follow up on this - there is actually a tow hole behind both right/left panels on the 03, but iirc the manual states that one of them is not suitable for towing!!??   s:? :? s:?  so why put it there?  s:? :? s:?     s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

You are a getleman and a scholar  s:D :D s:D  
Reflectors arrived this morning. What form of adhesive did you use? I was planning on Superglue, but wasn't sure if it would react with the plastic.

Post by: Slacey on August 12, 2003, 12:31
To be honest Roger, mine were a really tight fit and I didn't need any glue at all, but the guys on SC recommend clear bathroom type sealant. Glad you got them OK (eventually!)

Hello Lads,
                  I didn't read all the details - but could you point me in the right direction to buy a set of the tow hook cover reflectors - if they are still available.

Cheers Greg  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Post by: Slacey on October 15, 2003, 07:39
I was giving them away, but I've since run out - the only place i could find these in the right size was from the States, and they worked out fairly expensive once they were sent over. If you can wait a while, when we have some more new members I'll get some more sent over and give them away again   s:D :D s:D
