diarmaid16 1 Posted December 18, 2011 Thanks for that. I'll ust wait til some VR6 ones are available Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted December 18, 2011 I have the short one,brand new, unused, yours for £12 posted Sorry can't help with the other pair, unless you want another rusty pair ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted December 18, 2011 Thanks green, but I'll see if I can get these stainless ones first. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted December 18, 2011 Bear in mind the eBay straps are for a G60 and he says they won't fit a VR. I've got a spare OEM set but they're waiting to be blasted and powdercoated when I next need something doing, unless you can convince me otherwise...

diarmaid16 1 Posted December 18, 2011 The auction says he will have VR ones up for auction soon so I might just wait and see. What condition are they in and what money would you be after Stonejag? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winchbietch 0 Posted December 18, 2011 I dont know if you have looked into galvanising your existing ones, doesn't cost alot and will last forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted December 18, 2011 No, I havnt but it's my daily and only means of transport really so I'd like to just have a set to put on when I take off old ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winchbietch 0 Posted December 18, 2011 Fair enough, i have a rusty set that i could get galvanised if you draw a blank on finding a set Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted December 18, 2011 Paul, how much would you be looking for them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winchbietch 0 Posted December 18, 2011 I will grab them out the garage and double check their condition tomorrow, will speak to galvanisers on cost. From memory i think it cost me £15 / £20 when i did mine. Will give you heads up on prices then and postage will be negligable as can send through my work. The only fly in the ointment may be that galvanisers may be shut for christmas - meaning a few weeks wait. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted December 18, 2011 No problem. Thanks for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted December 18, 2011 Mine aren't in great nick so I'd take Paul's. Might look into getting my ones galvanised instead of powder-coated, cheers for the suggestion :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winchbietch 0 Posted December 20, 2011 Dug out the tank straps and all is well, but the galvanisers are winding down for christmas. So wont be able to get them done till there back. Are you happy to wait and proceed after christmas or do you wish to buy elseware? Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted December 21, 2011 Paul, That would be great but can you give me an idea on a price? Diarmaid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max west-yorks 10 Posted December 21, 2011 sorry to jack the thread but I'm also after a set of straps for a VR, whatever the OP doesn't take send you offers my way :) P.S. it was me who picked the guy up on ebay selling stainless ones as they were originally advertised to fit G60 AND VR6, gutted :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimDoc 0 Posted December 21, 2011 I have a set, a little rusty but still intact, also have the little bracket that joins two of the straps - whats the going rate for these? Someone make me an appropriate offer, based in bath. I also have the tank if anyone's after one? T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
