I ask because this one looks nice to me, but I ain't buyin' 'til I know what I'm gettin'.
I know for a fact that one won't fit. The top two, the billet double and the single bar will both fit.

The part is made from stainless steal - there is no coating or paint on the double bar. We originally sold then with 2 or 4 point mount per side but then decided to be different we would just do 4 points per side

I like the idea of 4 points per side. It looks like it would reinforce everything. I also love stainless steel in that kind of application.
Now, does it touch the hood mat?

Just got my single bar today. I was susprised how much of a difference in feel the front end has now. At 65 bucks shipped, was a great investment. Thanks Joe.

Joe,
Another question or two.
How much do each of the bars weigh? Summit is out of both of the double bars, could I get them quicker through you?

I called Granatelli directly. I got my STB probably 2 working days after I ordered it.

OK, I ordered the double street direct from Granatelli. I couldn't find them in stock any where else.
The handling and shipping to New Hampshire was a little high ($25), but I like I said I couldn't find them anywhere else. They said they would ship tomorrow.
I sure hope it has 8 holes I would hate to ship it back at that rate.

Did you confirm that you ordered the 4 hole per side version? - please call and speak with your customer service person ASAP

I assumed (oops) from what you had stated that you would only have the 8 hole on hand.

No matter what you are ordering and from whom, always verify repeatedly you are ordering what you think you are ordering. I've learned that lesson a few times.
