I am using 2mm ally tread for the floor rivited and sealed.

search reamer and get the "village bike" sent on so you can do your hubs.

there was a guy on ebay selling bolt sets...

For the holes for the balls joints use the 19mm tapered reamer from axminister tools.

Floor ,I and others used 2mm 5251 aluminuim, much stronger grade. I got it from Parkers steel as it was the cheapest at the time. for fixing it use a sealant, and then pop rivet it. Its a pain to drill so many holes though.

For the roll bar most people on here havnt used seamless tubing, partly due to cost an the fact Ashg had previously done group buys for roll bars. Not sure if he'll be doing another

For the steering column extensions I used 2.5 mm tubbing, don't remember inner dia. Not sure what others have done..

I have finished with my reamer now and will bring it to Stoneleigh free to someone who buys me a burger.

Stoneligh burgurs must be cheap then, it would be cheaper to buy a new one if you went on FordFair prices... But that is Silverstone!

You need to find a local bolt shop and buy a length of HT studding. I think mine cost about 6quid. That was after spending £5 a piece on bolts that were too short for the job.
