Stazza_Brendan Donating Members 686 Member For: 15y 6m 20d Gender: Male Location: Mackay QLD Posted 25/08/10 06:07 AM Share Posted 25/08/10 06:07 AM I bought a BF pursuit hardlid second hand without the hinge for the front.Ive got the gas struts, the hinges that mount on the lid and the lid itself.Ford want $812 for the kit (which includes the front hinge) to mount it.Rang up the reseller for EGR hardlids (who made the lid) and they dont stock the kit anymore.So either I have to fabricate something (cost a fortune here) or find a second hand one.Anyone got any leads?

Depending on which state you live in you may have protection from Consumer Affairs or Fairr Trading. I woud think that this would fall under the "IMPLIED WARRANTY" section.This Implied Warranty means that a product that is very exspensive has an implication of quality and that any resonable person would expect to get good life out of the product. This would mean that they would have to supply parts, and it would have to be reparable for a certin time. Being purchased Secondhand may be your downfall though as ou dont have as much right to complain as someone how purchaed a new one.

I got a BA xr8 bonnet for $500, brand new. really good guys, easy to deal with etc. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70177-bf-hardlid-fitting/#findComment-1036205 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me $705 delivered from a ford dealership in the ACT. According to the local dealer the only one left. But more are on order. Thank god its the full stainless one.
