    dont think chrome looks good on 86's





    im assuming you are planning on fitting them to ke70 ae71? if so there mounts are rare like rocking horse shit, so some custom stuff is needed.... i THINK anyways.. happy to be proved wrong again!

    the front bar by memory almost lines up with the factory bolt holes, you may have to drill out the holes on the bar.

    the rear is a little bit complicated but by no means hard. first of all remove the rear bar but leave the mounts on the car. from here you can eye ball how much you have to cut off the mounts so the bar will sit in a good position.

    i think i may have cut of 100mm but it was a while ago so i could be wrong. then if you grab a mate to hold the bar onto the mounts which are still on the car, you can grab a stick welder and start welding from underneath. its easier if you only do enough to hold it there, then you can remove the mounts and either weld all the way around it or for a bit more stability you can weld in a L shaped piece of metal.

    hope this helps a little bit mate
