Looks really good, love the wheels!

Got a question regarding the rear roll cage, when it was first fitted did you have to spread the arch legs apart so the whole mounting plate sat flat on the flat bit of the arch?

looking good mate. Mines going in for spray on wednesday and will i hope be ready for the riv run. Your front is looking good. A bit of a better fit around the scuttle than mine. How longs it been since you drove her?? Feels like nearly a year for me :thumbsup:


Its not that good around the scuttle one side fits fine and the other, because of the molding from curly has a bit of a gap that cant be closed we've tried moving the hinge plates on the adjusters but it does nothing

Looks really good, love the wheels!

don't know about the cage i was not there when it was fitted. they used ratchet straps to pull the legs in and it was a arse of a job they said

I had to spread the floor feet so that it sat a bit more square. Sat alright on the arches. Had a ratchet strap around the feet to get it in like pudding said.

I have fitted the cage and now I can't fit the seat belt because the leg is in the bin. So my question is can I fit them somewere else or what is legality of driving around with my harness fitted and will it pass a MOT with them and no seat belts.

Puddings, have you looked into the possibility of harness's? Dan (JetBLICK) has some that retract like seat belts, uber cool and safer than seatbelts.
