Dave's la(te)st buggy build...

You're going to be finished in no time at this rate! Good work as ever.

Looking good Pal
What diameter tube you using and wall thickness

A couple of hours off this afternoon, so not enough time to get my scruffs on But I thought of something I did need to do...



Those lorry arches* are big and cumbersome to get in and out of the garage to try and test fit them, so I needed some plywood templates!

*don't worry the side with the white logo and pin stripes is getting cut off!!



Et Voila!



Hard to get a photo as the garage wall and racking is in the way, but it looks to be a good fit, just under the tube loop of the rear bed



And the front...



That'll work nicely too!

Note! Don't worry... they'll be fair bit of trimming to them yet! As shown earlier in the build thread -

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration

Hiya Jack... it's Cold Drawn Seamless Steel MSA FIA Approved - 44.45mm OD x 2.64mm Wall (MSA and FIA Spec)

Very nice Dave The roof hoop does look a bit like a halo at first. Will it have drops down the front like my cage? Looks like it needs something at the front to balance it up a bit.

Those arches will work well too

Thanks Riccy

Yes...



There's 60mm x 60mm box section running down the side of the door edge over the hinges, that'll be capped off at the top with a hole-sawed hole for a length of tube to run down from the 'halo hoop' to the door bars, to protect the windscreen / body edge...

Then there's some 50mm x 50mm box running from the door bar edge to the front clip, shaped to run under the new bonnet edge...

And I've got the MIRROR GUARDS sketched up in my warped mind too :woohoo:
