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?

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.
