Sportex would be a direct fit. Cherrybombs need modifying and welding.

Cherry bomb and sportex are both straight through box's so it's only really the tone is different, personally I prefer the sportex

Have a look on YouTube and through the project threads and decide which you like the sound of
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

decided to give the boot pull a spray while I am sorting out the tail gate but I think it looks a little odd in gloss black I may have to sand it back down and do it in matt black
