biggerbigben 0 Posted September 18, 2007 For an amateur like me what is it? Its a rear engine mount bracket. It bolts to the back of the engine block. And I'm sure your not an amateur.. Well now you mention it i did manage to remove all 4 wheels, clean them and re install them within the hour..... :) :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alackofspeed2 0 Posted September 18, 2007 Ben, Are you using "bundy" pipe to make roll cage templates? It's what a roll cage fabricator near me does. Any progress so far? John. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted September 19, 2007 Ben, Are you using "bundy" pipe to make roll cage templates? It's what a roll cage fabricator near me does. Any progress so far? John. Haven't started yet. I've now got all the material and tools to do the job. Just need to fix the pipe bender to the garage floor. I was going to use copper pipe to make rough templates but not sure that will be good enough? I'll see how I get on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alackofspeed2 0 Posted September 19, 2007 Anyway.. Yes the secrets out.. thanks John! ;-) Ah balls. Sorry - I barely read this board, so didn't realise it wasn't common knowledge. Oh well, at least nobody knows about that Monaro VXR engine you picked up for a song, and the supercharger on its way from the US. Oh cock, I've done it again! ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggerbigben 0 Posted September 23, 2007 :lol: Good im liking the racer look trend at the mo :D Yeah me too. But for my particular car I think its a good route to go down, as its pretty much there already. Just needs a tidy up. Been looking at some awesome new rims for the car.. The Porker rims, once re-furbed obviously, will be up for sale at this rate! ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted September 24, 2007 Cage update - :D I've almost finished the rear section, hope to start bringing it foward to the A pillars tomorrow if I get time out from a twin engine conversion I've been helping out on in a Fairline. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
