Upper seat brackets done, I no the top edge doesn't need a radius behind the seat, but it looks neater I think



Just need some side to side spacers sorting and some correct length bolts



Next throttle cable sorted and temp return spring and the studding through the top is a temp forward stop



Full throttle

Clutch cable



Full clutch



I made two tubes to hold the outer cables



Next job, the rest of the roll cage, I've decided to mount the front hoop on the outside, as bashing my leg on it all the time not my idea of fun

I mocked up the scuttle panel, and worked out a mounting plate



The tube will mount to a bit of tube on end with two more bolts so it meats msa spec, once the front hoops in place I will sort my roof bars and door bars out

Daren't put any pics of my poorly built badly engineered thing on here, it'll be compared to this engineering master piece.

Brilliant bit of work Rosco - not that much different in build progress to mine really but I want to get mine on the road for 2016 kitcar show, fancy a race???

Awesome work, looking forward to seeing how your roll bar works out as that is something that is really playing on my mind

Yeah it is mine to be fair, I think I'm going to mount it on the outside i think and welded on, I've had a quick draw up of it, but I'm going to mock it up with plastic pipe while I'm sat in the car

Excellent tweeks to original Gibbs design.

What would it be like to syphon off all the excellent upgrades builders have made and put them into one roadster .
