MX-5 OC Forum

I have tried to contact Performance 5 by phone and email, with no response apart from an automated email saying they are busy focusing on making their own products...

Anyone know of any other places that sell them? Also interested in getting it fitted.

I know of a potential group buy over on mx5nutz direct from Hard Dog in the US, but that doesn't help me with the fitting side of things

Cheers, Dave

I expect most of the usual suspects would be able to help you with fitting - Autolink, 5 Speed, Sam Goodwin, etc, etc.Give them a bell.

As for supply, EverythingMX5 also claim to sell and fit Hard Dog

Phil @ P5 is a seriously busy man. May be worth sending him an email with the subject 'Serious enquiry about Hard Dog rollbars' or some such. He's a nice chap when you do finally get to speak to him - however he is that busy that I suspect if you're after fitting as well it might be best to try and sort out an alternative.

There's also TR Lane if it's a roll bar you're after.

Don't know if you've thought about them already but the T.R. Lane bars seem to be growing in popularity and will be the option I go for when I get round to it.

They have high clearance, good range of designs and the chap who makes them will also fit them for a good price.

Last time I looked into it (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong) but you could get TR Lane bar and pay for fitting and it would be the same price or cheaper than the equivalent Hard Dog bar before fitting.

IL Motorsport also have them on their website. Autolink might be a good bet for fitting, they are reasonably close to you. TR Lane are in Stroud so very close for you.

 Fitting is so easy your be laughing it does take a few hours tho i read the distructions and though ill have this in with in a hour, well it took me 3 hours but still so easy to fit.

I beleve Phil gave up importing stuff as it turned out to be too much hassel.

TiJayMX5:

Hard Dog/Bethania will ship direct to the UK if you pay by bank transfer.

And then you can look forward to the invoice attached to your delivery for import tax!

TR Lane, they have everything Hard Dog have and aren't that far from you to fit it too. Guys on here have also had bespoke bars made by Tim to suit their individual needs...personally I can't reccomend them enough.

That is true, I had to pay £50 VAT/import tax/whatever to get customs to release my bar... Plus the £25 bank transfer fee (cheers, Santander...)
