For starters Duy I don't actually want a Vertex kit just want my Bomex kit repaired and though I could get it made in flexi-glass.
Secondly I asked a simple question it wasn't a difficult one. There was no need for the personal comments. I had owned two soarers for more than 3 years so don't assume every new member on here is a "kid".
And Vinh the front and rear bars are completely cracked in half would need complete remoulding or joining so wasn't sure if it would be just cheaper to get a new kit?

Nik, unless your gonna do the fibreglass work yourself put the two halves of your bars deep into the 'too hard basket' and splurge on a replacement bomex (or whichever kit takes your fancy, its your car, you have to drive/wash/pay for it - get what YOU want) kit.
Buy a quality kit; Sure it will cost more initially but you'll save in the long run. I dont know about you but I dont need the headaches of buying crap and having to rework it to get it to function anywhere near properly.

Yep would be cheaper to get a new kit altogether. Repairing them isn't worth it. Contact Jetspeed in Liverpool or something and they'll most likely have the kit you're after. If all else fails, contact CarMate at www.carmate.com.au I'd go to them last though, considering that they didn't do a very good job the last time my car was in there.
They also didn't do a good job with my V8. Makes me wonder why I even went back there in the first place..
