Need M3 grabrail measurements
« on: November 11, 2022, 08:06:58 AM »
I would very much appreciate information on fabricating and mounting M3 rear/long grabrails.  I have the front short ones and have the mounting brackets from superjeep.

I think I need:
Overall length
position along rail pipe of 5 mounting brackets
which way/side the mounting bracket flanges face (front or rear)
position up/down and front/back to mount grabrail.

Thanks very much in advance for any help.

WOW!!  This is good stuff!!

Definitive and hopefully not too much trouble for you to provide.

I did not know there were grab rails for the front seats.

Thank you very much for the help.

Glad I could help, but can't take credit.  Steve Andereggan posted that up first I think...
