Couple may have already seen this at Trax etc... Reshelled my Gsi into this Harry Hockley Shell... Full Triangulation Roll Centre cage, fully seam welded, pedal box etc.. Goes and handles quite well! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/Foy/100_0934.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/Foy/100_0963.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/Foy/100_0967.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/Foy/100_0966.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v401/Foy/100_0965.jpg

looks very nice just wondered why the cage hasnt gone direct to the struts to stop them pulling back instead of mounting (bolting) on the outer edge where it is weak?

Looks ace, do you have any probs with water coming through the scuttle vents and onto/into the blower motor?

K, cool.
I need remove the plastic scuttle cover on mine as the single wiper linkage hits it.

Will have to get the drill out cut some holes into the blower motor surround.

Cheers all... I do sometimes get wet feet, when the heater blower fills up with water!lol I have got a spash guard to fit though....

Jamie, you cant really tell in the pics, but their are plates welded to where the cage joins the strut-tops... also the strut brace is welded to both the strut tops and the cage....

aaah fair enough, may i just ask who made the cage and how is it a harry hockley shell, just got a plating kit on or have they actually done it themselves?

I saw this on the road just outside castle combe the other week. It was travelling towards me & it looks awesome in the flesh. Great colour etc & the cage looks fantastic too (I saw some other pics).

Nice, Will.
