MG MGF Technical - Anyone got a template???

Hi all,

I've just been given a mesh type wind deflector by a friend to fit to her TF. However, there's no fitting template in the box. She's contacted the person she bought it from and he doesn't have it.

I don't suppose anyone has a copy of the fitting template they could let me have? From looking at the instructions the template should give the location of a couple of holes to be drilled to allow the removal of a bolt and subsequent fitting of a longer bolt an spacer tube.

Maybe you could go to Brooklands on Sunday with a 6 inch rule and measure a few cars. A Digital camera may also help.
Believe I saw a Template on E-Bay the other day but now that there are so many pages of rubbish, I do not look often these days.

It's here ;)

(where else) ;)

Check the upper box on site for the template, either as pdf or jpg.
A measure reference is included.
Wherein, lots of installers preferred to remove the T-Bar to take the points where to drill from below. (remove the screw, get in a longer thread pin to mark from below)

Sorry Dieter but a day at Brooklands on Sunday would be more fun. It is just down the road from Andy.
E-Bay Item 170095899950 at Buy Now £3.50 incl Free Post is cheaper than printer ink.

ROFLMAO ...
check the sellers feedback and earlier auctions.
That guy sells print outs from my webside (I recall having the template a little darker.
:)
Isn't me. Promised.

I have fitted 2 now (one on a F and then one a TF) and had not used any templates.

It was easy to perfectly align the holes by taking off the t-bar, then just winding up the two bolts and then putting the t-bar back (first slide out the securing plastic studs) and press down on the area where the holes would go. The up-raised bolt heads then marked the plastic on the underside of the t-bar. Thats where you drill.....


Cheers,
Branko.
