Default A question for those that bought a FTRA used..

Stupid me forgot to ask the seller if any hardware was included prior to buy it. No big deal though, doesn't look like a ton of hardware is needed.

Where'd you guys get all of your stuff? What'd you use for the rubber seals? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Installed mine new, only thing that might be hard to find locally is the seal for the front of the airbox inlet. fasttoys.net should be able to help too. If you need help with just screws, nuts/bolts sizes, etc. post up after you get it and I'll measure mine. Hopefully the seller will send you everything...

I have a list all of the parts needed(fasttoys has the list on their site). I know I could get the bolts and stuff at home depot or something. I'm mainly concerned about the seals. Maybe I'll send them an email.

Here's a link that shows all the parts included in the FTRA. It should give you an idea of what you need.

I know that, read my posts again. I wanted to know WHERE the hardware can be purchased and what they used for the rubber seals

If you're missing the front airbox seal, just do what I did. I used a piece of black pipe insulation. The kind with the adhesive on it. It was for a small diameter pipe. Try your local hardware store for it.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks!!

I don't have either of the foam seals either. What would you recommend for them?
