Hey guys,

I just got my Rapid V2 kit in and I was wondering what tools would need for installation this weekend.

I.e. Angle grinder, hacksaw, screwdriver.. etc?

What size drill bits do I need to make the custom holes?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

what custom holes are you talking about?

Nah, no need to drill, it mounts off existing holes.

Did you get instructions? If not I'll email them.

Basic tools mate, and a grinder, beer and a wife that's gone shopping

My random tips:

allow yourself at least 5 hours, maybe more.

Make sure you have a jack and some wheel stands. Its not a good idea getting under the car using just the ford suppiled jack.

You dont need a hacksaw but a grinder with a cutting wheel makes it heaps easier.

If you can get a nut driver 11mm if I remember corretly for the hose clamps in the kit, its much better than a spanner.

Scrivets are a pain the arse, espcially in the wheel arches. I just broke those off. You dont need those anyways lol

I fitted this kit myself mate and was not to hard

as others have said only the grinder is the only major needed and only a little bit small socket set and some screw drivers axel stands the usuall stuff I used a trolly jack to raise cooler into position as I did it myself

the CD rom you got with your kit should help mate and Chris Was more than happy to help with info

the hardest part is probably getting the UPB into position and doing up the hose clamps

check out my photo album ive got a few pics of my install feel free to PM me if you get stuck
