Had a bit of a play with my bones last night :)
They seem to fit with a bit of persuasion, which means I must have welded my brackets in roughly the right place!





( Sorry for the even worse than usual photo quality :o )

Welding Complete!
 
Had a productive evening in the garage tonight.
I reworked my handbrake cable guide, and welded on the rear roll bar brackets and headlight mounts, which <fanfare please> means I've just finished all the welding on my chassis! :D

I did try take some pics, but the camera's gone walkabout, and my phone just ran out of charge :rolleyes:

Nice one Skov :cool: its a great feeling to put the mig away & start bolting things to the chassis .

BUT.....have you welded on the little brackets to hold your flexi brake pipes etc? easily overlooked :eek: guess how I know :D

cheers

Yep, away goes the MIG, and out comes the paint brush :)
I've got about 4 weeks left to paint it before the next baby arrives, just hope the wife holds on for long enough :D

I'm pretty sure I've got all the brackets I need, and yes I did remember the brake pipe ones, thanks though!

Well done John you're really ploughing on with it now. I need to pull my finger out!:rolleyes:

Don't worry Chris, I'll be up to my elbows in nappies and milk soon, so you should have plenty of time to catch up!


Here's a couple of poor quality pics of my completed chassis (don't know where the bloody 'ell my good camera has gone :mad: ):

Hey Skov,

did you buy or make your suspension brackets?

Sven

I think I bought them from Talon.
