Cheap and cheerful, probably you can hold your breath longer than they will stay fixed.
But at that price maybe worth a try. Kev. |

They fit fine if tightened and handled correctly. Unfortunately, many garages have no idea how to fasten turnbuckles and bust the lock. The screws then vibrate and drop away.

I bought a pack as a replacement for 1 failed one and spares. It took a bit of fettling to get into place, but worked fine.
One issue I found, was using a Philips driver for the originals and a flat driver for the new one.

Oh, and of course grounding the undertray by driving too fast over speed humps will help to loosen and damage any fitting. Simon

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F391946113817 I found a standard flat blade screwdriver really chews them up. I welded a thick washer in to the end of a socket then ground it down to match the profile of the slot, but you can buy a ready made one like this. The slotted ones always seem to be cheaper than the crosspoint ones. |
