It is custom to a 306 but the only bends needed are the hoop and the front legs and roof bars. The rest is all just cutting and notching. Thought it would be a good way to make some savings. With your rear stays, do they meet the front or the rear of the rear subframe mounting points? |

Tbh, buying the one that needs profiling is probably easier, it's a lot less work to put the right profile and length on to start with than to try to alter a profile that's wrong without loosing too much tube.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
