I've signed myself up for the 31st March trip to Salisbury Plain. Should be good.

Going down Friday night, coming back Sunday.

The cage was on the motor and already log booked however it is well out of date. I'm updating the mounts to the latest regs and givig it a clean up. The cage is seriously meaty. It far exceeds the minimum spec diameter for what its needed required. and its Not this CDS Rubbish that will deform. This is Tough!! Thud thid not Ting Ting! if you get me!

Spitfiremk1uk has a tube bender and has built a few cages in his time. but its a weeks work he tells me drive in drive out. One of his cages is on the website. If you see under Competing in our Lr's and Compsafari his cage is on the Rangerover bobtailpickup.
 
Never test the depth of the water with your own Land Rover, better to use a small child.:D
I used to have one that I rented out when we first joined the forum... he is now almost as tall as me ( and a better mchanicy type person too)... however... foreseeing that he would grow.... My wife and I were sufficiently foresighted to spawn another child.... who is now at the stage Kai was a couple of years ago...

So.... a four foot human yardstick... available for a small hire charge!
