Ello chaps and chapasses! hehehe
Anyone know if these will fit the 850 T5?
They look plastic, most of the others appear to be metal????
Maybe thats why they cheap?

Thanked 604 Times in 533 PostsHmmm not sure
Ive never seen a plastic drop link for an 850, ive seen them on vauxhalls and the like and they seem to be ok.
Id get a lot of info on these before buying or fitting
Neither PFS or NORDIC have them listed, all metal ones
