Title: Opposite lock
Post by: rosberg on July 29, 2015, 06:45:27 PM

Hi ALL,

Looking to fit a safari snorkel to our 200 series cruiser.  Does anyone know if Opp Lock fit snorkels?  I have contacted OPP Lock re other matters and found them to be very approachable.  Let me know your thoughts.

cheers
Dean

I use opposite lock for my stuff.

Didn't know about the autobarn thing. I do know that autobarn was taken over in June by the burson group, it acquired autobarns parent company.


Edit, it does make sense though and could be the reason the OL on the gc is now part of Midas also, which is owned by the same parent company as autobarn.

Dean have you thought about doing it yourself. If you are handy in anyway it really isn't that hard once you get past the fact you are going to put holes in a perfectly good car. I did my 200 and a mates. It really is easy.

Did my 200 as well.....TJM Airtec though..

OL would be a stockist of either the Airtec or the Safari ( or both ) so you'd have to ring them..

Cheers mate. Burson are going at it that's for sure. Metcash were a big company themselves. :cheers:
