rollcages :(

[autoworksnovasport]

went and bought a hockley cage the otherday for the 4x4nova got it in the car today and guess what:(

it doesnt fit anywere near where it should due to completly different rear floor and suspension turrets and tubs :( should have thought of this really but heh have to make a bespoke one i guesse :mad:

[turbojolt]

Does this mean this one is going cheap lol

[Old man Jimbo]

Whoops!

Harry Hockley = big money does it not?

[MK999]

Weld in? Interested lol

[Mike]

Mod what youve got, shouldnt be to hard IMO.

[autoworksnovasport]

have been looking at it

[draper]

have you not chopped a **** load of stuff out anyway ? maybe that goes to show how much the shell has 'adjusted' ?

and modding it to fit shouldnt be to hard

[autoworksnovasport]

ill get pics tomorow for you all to see

[Jonlem]

You should be able to use the main hoop and front part though surely ? Just buy some lengths of cds and make the rear bit up yourself.

[autoworksnovasport]

yeah thats the plan just trying to find a local supplier of cds tubing at the moment

[autoworksnovasport]

had to remove this bit to manage with the tunnel

I wasn't expecting to get a hard on from this thread!

[autoworksnovasport]

found new supplier :)

dyfed steels in newtown sell the size of tube i want in 6.5 meter lengths £29.50 +vat

(same place hockley gets his steel from and he wants £10 a meter)

[Count Vaux Alot]

I've used dyfed befor you shouldn't have a problem with them and the price sound good too

[Bubba]

try ASD metal. they are cheaper iirc. not sure if there are any local...or if it would cost more with delivery.

[autoworksnovasport]

cheers bubba but there in leeds may be a bit for delivery

[autoworksnovasport]
