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

Looking good, it's really starting to come together now. Finished in no time!

Thanks! I keep thinking that too, but then I look at the other side against the garage wall!

:lol:

I sent Tom (the "pipe-bender" on eBay) another sketch today for pricing...

Out of 2.5" mild steel (exhaust) tube...



Any ideas... answers on a postcard

Manifold down pipe
Dave do you always submit sketches like these to tube-bender
If he works from sketches,this will suit me fine

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

Sort of... if you look at his listings, he lists a number of different size hoops, and gives a maximum size, so it's just a matter of picking the one closest to what you want and then giving him the custom dimensions you want, so the distance across the legs of the hoop, the height of the hoop and the material you want it bent out of (he lists 4 different sizes of CDS tube for instance)... that's how I specified the two top hoops to well together into the "halo hoop" around the roofline, and used a sleeve in the joints...

And then he lists different angles of bends, so again I pick the closest to what I want and again specify the material, the angle of the bend, and the length beyond the bends either way..

Here's a basic hoop for example, then see his other items...



Hope that helps...

Blimey! Beth's in early this morning...

As if by magic, a new item appears -



Paid, and will probably be with me towards the end of next week based on past experience...



I wonder what it's for though....?
