    Funny you should say that, as today's job was chopping 150mm off each end.



    I made some temporary fiberglass brackets just so that I could get the angles correct before I transfer to alloy. and made a 'CAD' template.

    this is going to be so much fun when it hits the road and should corner like it's on rails, the only thing I don't like the idea of, is trying to keep up with you when we're out on a run......lol

    I suspect this car won't be seeing the road in the near future, but will see some track action before too long.

    Will it be possible to make it road legal,? Don't they have to be type approved or something when they have been so radically updated.

    The cost of the BIVA test, proper E marked windows, tax and insurance make it uneconomical to put it back on the road, I can buy a braked A frame for less money, although, I wouldn't rule the BIVA test completely

    So rather than weight loss, you have weight redistribution for a functional purpose. ..nice

    Today was a day of tidying up the wiring.

    Rats nest:


    That's better:






    Then I bolted the roll cage down finally in readiness to make the mounting plates and final welding:





    A bit of CAD design work.

    Onto the cage mounts,

    bent up some 3mm plate.


    then welded it all up, and ready to weld down.


    And the same for the rear leg.





    Just need some dry weather so that I can bring the welder out and stick them to the car, then repeat for the other side.
