I have an original one (I think?) I will take a pic and post tomorrow. It has steel brackets built into the fibreglass underneath from memory.

Sorry it took so long to get back on this. I had a look at mine and it "had" metal plates in the fibreglass but they have been removed. I veiwed it through the camera and thought better of taking a pic as is may have just confused.

Lexa, the non genuine style ones are held on with PK screws..as the boy said, bloody horrible! Get the one with 3 mounting bolts and brackets fibreglassed into the underside of the unit. A2 has them at Milton Spares, genuine copies. I have one on my race car. You would never know it was after market.

I paid $35 for mine but it is very ordinary and obviously has the brackets missing. There is a guy in Narre Warren Melb selling repo's and that is where mine came from. He maybe used mine as a sample for his repo's.
