What size are the wheels? they look like they are 14" ? If so have you tried them on the rear uprights? Should look great when painted up. I am looking at the bespoke centre caps you can purchase off ebay, to add that finishing touch!

Andy,

Gus and I made the cage as I wanted something a little different. Never really thought about making anymore. John at 3ge did ask to use the plans to market them, but don't think it ever got off the ground.

Spike the wheels are 16" so no problems with them fitting over the rear uprights, I did try one on though just be sure.

Cheers

Dave

I'd be interested in one of those cages too, after I finish building my car!:rolleyes:

After having my bodywork for about a month now, and spending a few hours messing about with it I thought it was about time I put an updated picture on the forum.

The bodywork still all need fixing on, but it is starting to take shape.

Car looks great. Would there be any chance of you making and selling the roll cage as a flat pack kit.

davedew 7th June 2011 11:31 AM

Myself and Gus made the cage where we work. Mainly did it because I like a challenge and wanted something different.

I have posted the plans on the forum previously if you wanted to try and find somebody more local to you to bend the tubes.

Never thought about making flat pack kits. 3GE were going to do them, but they didn't get enough people wanting one to make it worth doing.

I can see you are heading down the same meticulous route as Gus..:cool:

davedew 7th June 2011 11:52 AM

Thanks Mark, don't want to be out done by him.

thats looking nice,
I'm probably going for white when the time comes.
How have you sorted the cooling on the cvh, blanked off manifold outlet and escort thermo on the back. A couple of pictures in that area would be good!
