Side bars

Post by Johnnyquango1234 »

Evening guys. New member here. White caddy 1.9 2010 plate 111.000 miles. Seems a good one, well hopefully. Just had cambelt tensioner and water pump done because couldn't tell me when it was last done so better safe than sorry yeah. Cracking stuff on her and lots of ideas I am getting. Question guys...

I have made some side bars at my work and not 100% how I am going to fit them. I have welded 3 brackets on each with slots but now I am wondering how to bolt them on. Originally my thoughts were to drill and tap holed in the underside of the sill but then thought I will be lucky if I get a few threads on them and these would not hold for sure. Would I be better getting some plates made and having them welded to the sill and then tapping these? I maybe have to start again with the sidebars because I am probably way off when I should be mounting them. If someone tells me how to post pics on so you can see more of what I mean I'd appreciate that.

Cheers guys.
