My roll bar what do you think ?

Day of work today and much to swimbo's disgust I spent it in the garage

Any comments please..

I hope it’s worth it as it weights a ton just under 3mm seamless Cds.













Well im pleased

I'd be well pleased if that were mine.
As it is, it's yours, so I'm just plain jealous

Hi Wasa.

Definately the Muts Nuts

I'd like to do something similar. Did you do the bends yourself, if so how did you go about it?

TIA,

Mart.

I got the tubes from a Guy advertising it on eBay. Didn’t leave it to chance. I made him an offer, possibly more than I could have paid. and he accepted and delivered it. (Top man)
The main hoop was bent but that’s it. Every thing needed finishing to suite the applications, cutting to length ect. Fish-mouthing all them tubes by hand with a file was hard work.


Was told it was bought from GTS

Thanks for the input Guys

It does look rather like a GTS roll bar, so you are probably right.

Looks good BTW, nice work!!

I still ended up cuting over 30cm of metal from each tube.
