I took my gt4 front bar to the paint shop recently, and they handed the reobar back to me saying it wouldn't bolt up with the new bumper. I know it needs to be cut in order to fit on, just curious where it needs to be cut and what tools i should be using to cut it. I have a fair bit of experience using power tools, but I haven't cut metal before, would an angle grinder with an appropriate wheel be sufficient?
I need the reobar to fit on by friday so it can pass my registration inspection |

I need the reobar to fit on by friday so it can pass my registration inspection not sure what you mean by reobar but if its what i would call a crashbar its relitivly easy to cut, the problem you will find is that there are levels to it, look in one end and you will see what a mean, i used a jig saw with a long blade to cut mine but a resipricating saw would have been easier, an angle grinder with a cutting disk would work but will not be easy to get those inside pieces, post a pic so we can help you better though as i may be thinking of something completly different to you. good luck... -------------------- You're here for a good time, not a long time. - Colin McRae When in doubt...
