elf83 - 11/5/11 at 09:48 AM

Does anyone know of anyone in or near plymouth that can supply and fit or just fit a roll cage to my mk? heard about the back having to come off and i don't want just anyone doing the job. Would go to mk but its a long way...

Send a U2U to "Neville Jones", he did the bending for my cage.

Not done it myself, but I am in Plymouth with a recently rebuilt garage if you need a hand fitting a cage, I am sure I can try and be useful?!

Thanks Josh.

Yes, I could do a cage if asked, either standard MSA spec or lightweight, weld in yourself, or I could come down in my old bus and do the job for fuel money.

Cheers,
Nev.

A work colleague recently mentioned that his son is a tool maker at a local fabricator/engineering company (up Estover somewhere)should I need anything made for my Cobra build.
They apparently have made stuff for the motorsport industry and worked on Radicals etc.
I Could make enquiries as to whether they could make a cage, if you like.
BTW, your MK wouldn't happen to be a blue BEC with Rizla decals on the side?
If so, I saw you on Outland Rd last Sat, when I was walking back from Argyle.

Naw, disappointingly, you were very sensible pulling away from pedestrian crossing outside Morrisons (but, I suppose, it was busy) - and you need to ditch that R1 Can - far too muted and civilised!!
Is it an R1 engine under the bonnet - or summat else?
Whereabouts in Plymouth are you? - like Tegwin, willing to give you a hand anytime, should you need it.

Its a gsxr 1000, bos end can, but can you tell the police that pulled me the other day its too muted as they pulled me due to noise.... Lol. Im at Roborough near tesco. How about yourself?

I'm in Hartley Vale (down behind the Golden Hind pub - just off Manadon roundabout.)
I think yours is the only other BEC I've seen around Plymouth since selling my Tiger. (Must admit, I do miss her.)
How long have you had the MK - did you build or buy it? You'll have to let me have a closer look sometime.
