Group Buy: GTT 'Boot Brace' (Rear Strut Brace) - 1st Gen

Hi Guys Ok we have the first 20 of these available on Group buy at a very very competitive price.
At GB price (minimum 10 people, max 20 people) we are offering these at £109+vat. Thats £52 cheaper than the Cusco one as an obvious comparison.. It is also much stronger due to one piece TIG welded construction, very thick mounting bracketry and larger diameter tube.
The tube is 40mm diameter Stainless Steel , hand mirror polished . (powder coating in various colours also available at £10+vat extra) .
Mounted just behind the rear seat backs, there is no drilling/cutting required. Comes with new 12.9 high tensile bolts. -Fitting time 10 minutes max.
Fits all first generation hardtop Minis....One, Cooper Cooper S , OneD...
£20 deposit required to secure. Credit /Debit card is fine, just telephone (01258 455545) or pm your details. The balance will be put through once the stock arrives. The Boot Brace will then be sent within 48 hrs using ANC 'Next Day' Courier service. This service is an additional £10+vat for UK, but please ask for shipping costs outside UK. -We can send worldwide no problem.
We expect stock to arrive around third week in January.
Group Buy closes 31/1/08.
-Please post on here if you would like one, then contact us to make the £20 dep.
We will then put your name on the first post.
Many thanks guys,
Roland GTT

I've played the "added-safety-for-a-rear-seat-passenger-(Roo)-in-a-rear-end-collision" card

It worked with Eeyore (come to think of it, it worked with me! I genuinely believe it could be of some help in a nasty rear end and/or side-on accident).
