good lad
For the front turn a bung on the lathe out of old hyd ram rod (its en8) and tap it m16
and weld it inside the tube. Then get a cap head bolt because it will fit and you can get a 10.9 tensile bolt that will not break
Makes sense, I take it the bolt goes all the way through the outrigger ?

If you can roll it without damage it would be incredible for jetwashing, could use one of your machines to put it on its side!

It's a tornado cage, I'm pretty sure it'll work we'll as Dave billings (owner of tornado) who I compete with rolls pretty much every trial haha
I'm considering challenge wings now and adapting then to look like standard wings so I can stay in my current class but add masses of protection

You need 1.75 " x 10swg tube for the wings, you can use an off cut of your cage which I assume is 2.6 mm wall to make the slip joint to join onto the front hoop

Sorry for the lack of updates lately I've ha a busy week haha
Anyway today I want happy with how the cage fitted so I decided to drop it an inch to make it all fit closer to the body this meant cutting the old hain hoop mounts off and lowering them an inch and re welding this has made it fit alot better and I'm happy now
Also dad has fixed the leaky water pump and wee change the power steering pump and I now have fully working light power steering, happy days now to do the rear stays and were almost getting there

Rear stay mountings
Yep they'll be strong enough just gotta make the top plates and te plate for the stays now, would have got more done if my welder didn't decide to die and stop releasing gas
