vehicle to take fixings, care must be taken to ensure that the fuel line, tyres, fuel tank, wiring loom, exhaust,
bodywork and brake lines etc. are not damaged. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure our products can
be safely fitted, changes to vehicles sometimes occur so it’s always necessary to check before drilling.
If in doubt refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s dealership.
