Anyone got any tips on fitting rear window jail bars? Mine arrived today and don't want to f#%k it up.

Put tape down first mate, then measure twice. Start in the middle, use a punch to mark the hole position that way the drillbit won't slip. Use a smaller drillbit so you don't f**k it up! Then measure up both sides evenly before drilling, same process as middle. Good as gold.;)

You can get them from http://www.justcampersaustralia.com  or http://www.thebusstop.com.au  online. Mick Motors might have them as well.

Jail bars finally on, just one bit of advice don't use screws that come with it. I pre drilled and still the screws stripped and snapped so got some stainless screws and no worries.
