I got mine from welderman.

He can supply welded or unwelded.

I bought mine unwelded so will fit it all myself.

Picked it up when I was working near lancashire. which I am again atm.

Buy welded one and i'll help you fit it. if you want

more than happy to help, delivery is a problem though but can be sorted, not far from the M6 or M61.

I sent my parents to see Welderman yesterday.

Collected me a hoop and stays to weld in myself. I'll only find out what the bits are like when i get them at the weekend but my dad reckons he's a nice bloke and has a great workshop.

(which is far higher praise than it sounds).

From my perspective he was really easy to deal with and put up with me umming and arring.

some peopl just are nt good judges of character! Hehehe! Only kidding joe! I want a full cage this winter, so I'll drop you a line once I have the funds.

no problemo, good luck with the inspection

Interesting 'assistant' you have in your photo archive there FFTS... perhaps with winter coming up you should buy her some gloves in case her hands get cold.

Quite handy though having somewhere to hang your keys!

PS - if anyone decides to have a peek... its NSFW, or for those who may be offended by gratuitous breasticle imagery!

Hmmm - i suppose being on year 9 does give my dad a reason for a little scepticism.

Two key things after the roll cage are custom made drive shafts and fuel tank. After that its just bodging all the bits i've got together ..... it may even get completed this winter .....

In spring i may be back for a front hoop - although out of 36mm steel if you can do it.

welderman - 20/10/09 at 12:05 PM

Mike cant do 36mm

Can do 26, 34,42 and 48

Can do ally tank too

sorry about the thead hijack Mr dlatch Rescued attachment Image307.jpg

no probs welderman
i did consider you for the cage but the problem is
1. you are other end of country
2. i need the cage made+fitted

i have no welding gear or experience that would inspire me with confidence to weld in a cage

from internet searching it seems procomp are closest at 100 miles away
unless you guys know someone closer to london

MikeR - 20/10/09 at 05:27 PM

Joe - u2u will be with you in a few days for a price.

Its a bit different to most locost as its sort of got a caterham rear end so the bottom of the tank is quite an accute angle.


eg.
