Ztoy 2k Front Bar Replica

Discussion in 'Technical' started by slicktop_beast, Nov 24, 2016.

  1. Purchased a front bar made from the ztoy 2k mould and was wondering if there was ever any mention of it not being able to be fitted with the standard reo bar? Or am I going to have to hack into something (hopefully not)?

    Best whip Al a PM and get it from the horse's mouth ....
     
  3. Tried that regarding something else, but never got a reply. Do you happen to know if the later model Z's running stock 2k bars have a different reo bar?

    When I swapped mine over I used the same reo bar.
    Mind you I had a genuine 2 K bar, but I dont think the Fibreglass ones should be much different than the Genuine ones. The bars are only a skin really.

    They used the same reo bar from 89 -00. Slight differences i found but the shape and overall design never changed.

    :agree:
    Same deal as Stu, used the original reo bar & other supports on the OEM 2K bar.
     
  7. Thanks for the replies everyone, I suspect that because the openings are slightly larger for a fmic, that it might just be that little bit too tight and need a trim. Everything lines up as it should, it's just a minor fouling of the fog light housings with where it lines up on the bar. Will give it a nip and tuck this arvo.

    Me too.

    Used the stock reo and the bar hooked over it with minimal fiddling.

  9. Must be the bar then. Hacked away at the reo for no reason, even when sitting as far over the reo as possible, still getting at least a 1 inch gap between the bar and headlights. Don't know how he managed to fit it in his ad.

    Sometimes they need a bit of "Jiggling" to get them on, especially if you have factory fog lights!
     
  11. Tried every which way to jiggle it on, the dimensions won't allow for a flush fit with the reo unfortunately

    You might be able to get Al on the Facebook site .....

    Alternatively, send a PM to Magic Mike and ask him to get Al to contact you by PM/phone ..

    MM will have his phone number or Facebook contact ....
     
  13. Cheers mate but all good. Should learn to just buy oem, would of cost me almost the same price. I'm pretty sure old mate told me when I purchased it, that it was going to need to be trimmed etc. Even with both front bar and reo off, it still cannot be manipulated into place, the centre recess point is not deep enough to take the whole reo.
