Genuine can’t be beaten for fit and quality, but daft price. Close second for VFM are the Bearmach versions, nearly as soft but much cheaper.
The Britpart ones were shocking, too thick......not enough ‘squish’ and useless in the cold.
Two options:
1) Make the edges ragged and turned in, burn it it a bit and call it shell damage?
2) more practical, use the bit you cut out for the new hole mounted on a backing plate to fill the old one, rivet bondo and paint Voila!
I chopped and re-welded the wing outer fitting (mantec) on my 200tdi 90 so it was pointing at '12:00clock' - two rubber lined pipe clips on the roll cage and it's like it grew there!
Took the trouble of feeding a single length of flexi hose from the air filter through the wing and up into the snorkel pipe - watertight! Removes problem of a leaky seal where the wing fitting clamps on.
Will grab a pic if you want it....
As promised
Pairs of TF116 & TF117 taken of a 90 which had a 40mm lift - ran for 800 miles mostly on road with no issues at all. Only grumble being teh paint finish not being teh most resilient, where teh springs have rubbed its flaked off (when I jetwashed them!) so the dark patches are Kurust. They may need a tart up if vanity is your thing!
Only removed to fit +6" Shocks on a flexkit, otherwise they would still be doing the job..
Let me know if you want them...
I've run Recip Trial in 265/70/16 size - off road I can,t fault them and have towed out others with less aggressive patterns.
On road they are noisy, but less than some - good wear rate though.
In terms of safety, trucks and aircraft wear retreads - so I'm happy.
Hope that helps?
Ring this man and the scales shall fall from your eyes!
