As heading really.

How much are they and what's involved in fitting one?

Which is the best one to use?

I've looked in a few catalogues, but there's so many i don't know which one to go for

Cheers Jonno

i dont think they make big enuf ones to bolt stait on a normal filler hole
you have to weld a ring into the 1/4 panel fill it paint it and bolt it on simple
