Painted my vice
![]() and built a bench ive always wanted a steel bench ![]() Vice on bench ![]() |
Then i got working on on the transmission tunnel
![]() ![]() ![]() Most of the tunnel tacked in place |
|
Got a bit done on the rear suspension this weekend
![]() ![]() Also got my first chassis plate cut ![]() And my beautiful distraction ![]() |
So i was given this roll bar its a standard caterham 7 bar
![]() ![]() ![]() So my plan is to cut off the original mountings on the thick bar and put a flat bar plate on each end. Then make a plate the same as cp3 and cp4 and mount them 50mm higher straight above cp3 and cp4 with nuts welded on the inside Like build a box if this makes sense 50mm high can anyone see a problem with this Can i then weld 50mm box section between these boxes with the seat belt anchorage's welded into this bar |
Ok so im not sure what to do about the roll bar
so i started making some of the chassis plates and despite what people were saying about just buying them laser cut i actually found the fabrication of these plates very rewarding and satisfying maybe its because there is a bit more work involved or maybe its because i saved money who knows. so i got these drill bits a while ago its amazing the difference a good drill bit makes ![]() i also got these during this week ![]() ![]() m18x2.5 bar |
So not sure what to do About the roll bar so when making cp3 and cp4 i cut the roll bar end plates and drilled them on top of each other so they are an exact match
![]() both plates drilled ![]() both plates nuts welded ![]() |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
If you have the means to do it,cut a hole in the roll bar plates and put roll bar through it and weld it,it will pull like a bast*rd when you do weld it

and surley welding it to a flat plate would be better than a plate with a big hole not really sure what you mean |
