[QUOTE="ColoradoFJR, post: 261145, member: 4843"] Hi WW I agree about not using the extra long Givi supplied bolts. I found some black metric bolts but tried unsuccessfully to find some black metric nuts with the nylon inserts. IMHO you are putting a lot of faith in the zip/cable ties - based on how easy it was to strip the threads on one of the front bolts, I believe the majority of the holding grip comes the the two rear through bolts. They sandwich the Premier rack and E250 together. If the through bolts are not important, why not just drill and tap two more holes on the rear of the Premier rack - like the front two - would make a very clean install! (Care to comment OHFJR?) I have installed some zip ties on my car (installing a receiver hitch) in the winter (above freezing) but found that the zip ties got very brittle and had no strength. I would check them often, especially if you put any weight in your top case. [/QUOTE]
