WTD: Brown Davis fitting instructions pdf file

manga_blue · Postby **manga_blue** » Sat Aug 26, 2006 4:25 pm

Somewhere out there there's a pdf file that explains exactly how to fit a BD rollbar. It's beautifully written by a captain of the SA MX5 club, who's a professional technical writer.

I know all this because David Brown told me so. He also told me he can't give it to me because his computer has become totally dead.

If anyone has a copy could they mail it to me please?

My rollbar looks cr*p sitting on the garage floor. :frown:

I wish I had some instructions when I was fitting my bar. David was going to send them with it but nope they never got here. I figured it out in the end with the help of a drill, some hole saws and some spanners

the little sister was handy for doing up the bolts through the boot too.(my arms weren't quite long enough)

I have finally got around to posting the install photos and details from our Dodgy Day as a .pdf file for download. This was originally written for the NSW Club Magazine, but I figure it might help some interstate forumites too. Better late than never! :lol:

Let me know if you have any problems accessing the file or downloading it. Mods - you may want to add the file to the tech archives for all to see.

Cheers,

Bigdog.

Thanx BD, that's a much better set of instructions.

I had to use a 18mm spacer (with holes cut for the harness bolts) between the metal plate over the fuel tank and the brown davis to angle the bar forward enough to fit a hard top.
