you have to remember the Uneek is on M10 mounting bolts which is so much stronger then the m6s holding the chief on. I also prefer the look of the Uneek.

It bolts directly to the chassis doesn't it? Wouldn't the bolts have to be the same?

if you read it the Uneek requires drilling upgrading the 6mm bolt holes (prob 8mm) from the manufacturer intended for the plastic basherplate to a 10mm bolt hole (prob 12mm hole).

"Competitors use existing bolts for a complete bolt on product however the existing bolts are only tiny M6 designed to hold on the factory plastic cover, not take a hit from a rock or rut that your car has slid on to. Uneek 4x4 recognize this and therefore as the customer to drill 3 holes in order to use High tensile M10 bolts"
