Subject:      Jail Bars Q
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I have all the 5 oem VW mounts for the rear window jail bars for my Vanagon (the four "end" pieces and the longer middle piece).

Is there anything special as far as curves or finish or whatever about the NLA VW bars that complete the kit or can I just find a supplier of metric sized aluminum dowels to finish off the kit? The aluminum rods at my local hardware store are American sizing and without some tweeking they are a little smaller than the receiving brackets and wold rattle.

I see in ETKA even when VW offered the bars their note is bars com XXmm long then "cut to size."

Thanks, Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA
