Does anyone have any pictures of these fixing kits?? There very expensive, If I can get an idea of what is incuded in the kits, I recon I could make them at half those prices? and pass the benefit onto you guy's.

If I get any pictures, I will look into it.

Does it come with the bolts and other fittings? if so how long are the ones supplied? (They should also be high tensile steel ones?)  and do they supply the fixing plates for Underneath the floor.

You have to get your own fixings, I had mine done by a person who fits towbars,

The picture quality wasn't excellent, but it gave me a good insight.

John I find this very hard to believe? The cost of the metal is Minimal, it would probablly cost more for P&P, I do agree stainless steel cost more, but the powder coated ones are just ordinary steel and adds to the price.
I could do them no problem, giving a choice of powder coated,stainless steel ones,or just painted with red oxide and for a little extra a coloured one 

I will look further into it and work out some prices.

With Chic cleaning its free delivery if you spend over x amount . I  bought a tank from them as well  so postage was free.

I know that the bolts were expensive though

I should think it was free delivery at those prices, the profit margin on the brackets alone would more than cover all the postage.
I will look into it, do a cost up and I recon I could knock them out for half there prices.

The bolts are expensive, and one reason you had to supply them your self, is they would have to supply so many nuts and bolts for different vehicles. There expense comes from them being High Tensile Steel, not the run of the mill nuts and bolts.

Its about time I found a nich in the market where I can make a few quid and save my fellow colleagues a few quid as well, or we'll make them reduce there prices.
I'm all for people making a profit, but not as much as I see there.

Thanks very much lads i was looking for system like that insdead of the strapes. i have just seen one on cleantech as well for 85.00 that includles the straples nuts etc . not the metal strapes btw the rachet strapes.


I must admit jeff 85.00 for two bits of metal is very expensive    and then having to get the bolts etc yourself.

John do they hold your tank in safe? what i mean is do it feel safely securred?
