So we're going with Sandglow for the body work on the trialer Black cage and cappings!
Soooo much more work to even get it anywhere near moving let alone painting it.
Starting to make a huge list of every small item cross them off when done. Not much is getting done but hey gettnig there slowly. I have an EFI system here from Jamie akaV8disco or should I say Alan so that should replace the SU's but I only ever heared the engine run myself once a few weeks before I got it.

Cage wise, Fit a real one yes it encroaches in your load space but its a rollcage it takes preference. IMO a non real one is a bit pointless. Whitbread do a weld in kit for not alot of money tbh.

That will be you then lol
Some guy was talking to me, to cut a long story short.
I explained why I was in long johns.
His reply was "I did wonder why you were dressed like that but didn't want to say anything"
Cracked me up.
But then got me thinking "how many others thought the same"
There has to be a moral to this event, but I am damned if I can think what it might be!
Looks like a lot of fun, and he's still smiling!
Did any of you guys get one of my ropes from Jack?
Eye-splices?

Cheers CharlseY!
I had quite a few and spitfiremk1uk did aswell I think going on 20 to share between us all.
Cheers again great for abusing when towing somone on the road who's not all that great or for leaving in the motor in winter. I have spliced one end but TBH I've been so busy not stopped. If I've not been working I've been at a family thing or stuck in on a landy somwhere. must get the rest if them done one evening.

What tyres are you running? I know its bad there but woulda thought you'd have got around ok.
As far as I know, none of these have ever snapped when used as tow ropes.
I wonder what the breaking strain is?
Whatever, it will be plenty enough to take the front end off most cars!
I hope you all have fun with them. There are more if Jack runs out, and Battenberg is threatening to visit soon, so he could take a heap to Brum.

tall skinny tyres. Others will argue different but I like tall and skinny Tyres.
Tall skinny ones are good for looking at, but shorter fatter ones are better for recreational purposes.
So they say.

I suspect the ropes will be very very similar to my 24mm Poly rope I believe they are pretty much the one and the same. Circa 12T breaking at a guess theyre great Cheers! CharlesY

Mmmmm! Happily drinking my £4.25 bottle of whyte & mackay... It's a hard life 
New pc arrives tomorrow hopefully and should see if I can get it my screens calibrated on it and have another look at these photos. Maybe even upload some big splashy bits

Purley on the fact that most trialers use tall and skinny I base my argument but hey ho, horses for corses, swings and roundabouts and all that!
I hate the Septip Tank look with Superwide Rostyle Wheels
