That looks very smart indeed

are you using 2 bolts to fix it to the bottom chassis rail ( at bottom of the back stays ) as I can,t quite see from the pics ?

Nice work , & the other pics look good of the car too

cheers

yes i read others where having problems so i used the normal 4 x 8mm fixings at each side at the top i have used 2 x 10mm fixings at each side at the bottom i ran the harness bosses through so i could weld top and bottom it is also fully tig welded (i am not take any chances lol)

Where did you get the roll bar from.Thanks Aidan

Hi there
I made the bar myself i had to lend a friends CNC pipe bender to roll the 50mm hoop luckily i saved the programme on the bender so he can knock them out as he wishes. without sounding arrogant i spent the time and the radius on the corner is spot on no kinks or ripples. if anyone is interested i could probably get you in contact with him i am sure he could knock some more out fairly cheaply
The rest is just 38 tube the bosses are tapped to 7/16 unf as per harness bolts or eyes.
Oh yeah the tube is all the correct type wall thickness etc

Do you know roughly how much he would charge for the hoop and bars.Aidan

I will give him a ring tomorrow and get a price
