Hartge Strut Bar - have you got one?

I've just bought a Hartge strut bar, well I think it is!
The only "Hartge" identification is a stuck on plastic emblem/badge across the double bracing in the middle of the bars.

Can anyone confirm one way or t'other if mine is pukka. :mad:

Thanks
John.

thanks for confirming that jon m8.
:cheers:

I thought there might have been a hartge stamp or engraving in the alloy but there doesn't seem any "permanent" marking which made me have my doubts.

Incidently, i was really surprised by how lightweight the bar is. That'll be the alloy :wink:

It also could be a Sparco with an Hartge sticker.

Anyway, Sparco made theses bars for Hartge, so it's exactly the same.
(and they're still available new for about 150Eur in many shops who deal with Sparco products)
