Loving this build, it gets better and better
Nice purchase on the cage there. I was interested myself, but it was a little too hardcore for what i want :(
I.e. would mean having the hack the ends of the dash etc off

Cage looks good. You sorted the g unit you wanted?
Coming together nicely now James, The spec of this is going to be crazy!
Good stuff mate:thumb:
Cage looks heavy :eek: :p
Nice wotk as always James, beam looks lovely :thumb:
I knew you of all people would say that and i'm going to weight it at some point to find out what the damage is....but its a necessary addition of weight imo as i prefer my head the shape it is and not like a squashed melon!
Oli i also wondered what size space you are running? is it 25mm with a 7inch rim on a 45ET?
Definately necessary weight, safety is one area where weight can be added IMO, it also stiffens the shell obviously and that's a plus :)Quote:

you can just use a grinder for a quick job and fill the large gaps with weld lol
As we are still on the subject of the cage i got it back from sand blasting today nice and clean well worth the investment imo and no effort what so ever lol
