A few more new bits
Had a great big box arrive from Tweeks today:
2x Cobra Evolution Pro's.
Picked a quick release steering wheel boss up the other evening too, should hopefully make getting in and out slightly easier with the new larger door bars in the cage.
Had a cover arrive for it from Tweeks too, hopefully keep it in slightly better condition.
And a new welding helmet too, auto-darkening jobby

thats what i thought, they look very tidy!!
Long time no update. Got quite a bit done over the past few days after a long period of not touching the car. You may remember that I cut the roll cage out at the start of December with the intention of re-making all of the mounting points and adding some extra bars into the cage.
Well the good news is, the cage is now back in, phew. Still a lot to do yet but I'm finally getting somewhere with it. I have a deadline to work towards now too after booking Oulton on the 28th April. 6 weeks and counting.
Main hoop outer skins and mounting box
Front skin and box
Rear mounting point (was unsure what to do with these after cutting them out, ended up using the plates we welded in 1st time round and a 3mm steel 'spacer' to bring it upto height. Cage>spacer>shell)
Sleeves between front and rear section top bar
That was the main structure of the cage in and solid, so I went about adding a few extras that I didn't have before.
Main hoop brace behind the seats
Then a bar across the bulkhead, between the two A-pillar posts
Also added a small plate between the roof and the top of the cage, should hopefully stop the roof flexing quite so much. Certainly feels a bit more rigid. When paired with the A-pillar gussets I'd like to think it'll all be tied together nicely
Then I cut out part of the steering column mount. I plan on mounting the column from the cage, but I left the lower part in to give me a rough idea of where it was previously
A few more randoms
Plenty left to do yet, but it's a bit of something. Note - all welds were done by me, a complete novice. Whilst theyre not amazing I'm still reasonably happy with them, so no p*ss taking!
Thanks to Squibby for his help over the last few days too if he happens to read!
