70mm :x I dont think they even measured it ONCE

The length is out, the bend centres are out, the length of the bends are wrong....could be they just shipped the wrong bars, that'll be an easy fix.
And trust me...I got more than you invested in this......Will have news Monday afternoon.

Fingers crossed that it is the wrong ones that they sent. Is the count correct? Like you ordered say 20 did you get 20?

Don't worry about it. These things happen. Did they let you know how long it would take?

I can probably do the mod myself, just trim and re tap. Then a light polish and off we go. So all going to plan, posting very soon.

Don't you just hate that "oh shit" moment when you realise you just did something really, really stupid? Good thing is, everyone knows the feeling :P

That sudden rush of adrenaline runs through you as you've realised you screwed up.
Sucks when it's a $7 000 dollar distrubution board :roll: luckily wires can be ripped out and replaced.
