I even had to re-bend the tube across the tunnel to the main hoop as it was and inch too short on either side, I don't know how they managed that, as the only thing it had to fit to was the main hoop, that they made to start with...Been a few niggles and curse words, be a good cage when it's done though.  See, I did put some fireblanket and cardboard down so we didn't scratch your fancy paint too much...

They're pretty cheap for the amount of tube in there already really, but then the tube isn't Clubman 500 or similar, it's that cheaper french CDS from the same place that does the aero shape T63 looking at it, just as strong but not very ductile - but either way I can't see them making masses of profit off the cage itself.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I think you'll just get 'that's how they are, tough', but worth a shot, as they're nothing like the diagram, they've got two extra kinks  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

With your lovely 'level' workshop floor you will easily be able to do alignment checking of suspension/chassis etc. Bet it's lovely when it rains!  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

'S fine, it's planings so doesn't get damp, we did have a nice epoxy concrete floor but sold the yard the little workshop was in, so we just chopped the legs off and shifted it Everything else fits with the cage Rikky, 's all tacked up now bar the gusset plates, the roof and windscreen bars fit the new a-pillar hoops better than the originals ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

you lot will love this..they are all off the same measurements/jig so every one made is wrong apparently.. they will rectify it from now on. i am still out of pocket though and "should have contacted them and they'd have sorted it", they weren't open at midnight on saturday though and i'd have missed my slot for fitting and also other work. great! phillip any chance you can make a fancy shape out of them two hoops or what? or just something, anything.. a small chair or table or something? having said that DHamptons pic looks like his bars are flatter but can't work it out 100% from the pics ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

ok i did say you thought yours weren't as bad but at a guess it is amended every few years as a design anyway i can't see my cage being identical to yours considering mine was made last month and yours about 10yrs ago ps pic of wiper motor??  ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

i can't until i'm back up at phil's, depends what you need to know, phil might know? you'll be able to tell i'd have thought just lying the hoops on their side and looking at the lift on them compared to mineam a bit annoyed it's always me some problem lands on and i end up footing the cost, it's the story of my life completely  you can use them as they are, just, it's not right.. ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |
