Lol, its never enough sweetheart!

As per your requests Russ and possibly others!

A few things you may not notice which I was happy with the cage was because it was such a tight fit, the cage could actually be 'stitched' (welded) to the body along the A pillar and between the top of the B pillar/roof to eliminate shell flex and not have to put gussets everywhere which has in turn saved weight.

I also asked to remove the steering wheel adjustment completely and lowered the steering column by just under an inch by extending some metal from the cage up front onto the column. This was an idea from the JMS race car and the idea went into mine eventually when dismantling the cage in preparation for fitting and the teeth on the adjuster fell out of the adjuster itself! It had broken into a few pieces so it was a good job I went with it in the end!

Russ any other questions just send us a Pm, seeing as your welding yours into the car go to town on the prep work! I thought I did a good job but once painted there's so many more things that could of been cleaned up/cut out etc etc!

Cheers
Nick

Cheers guys!

Chris - Yeah in some lights is does look a little RB but with the cameras flash its made it look really RB! Normally its not a too bad colour match for 2pack paint anyways.

[Tony Hunter]
