    I need to extend the back to take account of the seats being further back and thus changing where my head will be so I need the 2 new side pieces coming off the main hoop then a 45deg bend towards the rear turrets. These then need joining with the roof bar where the 45 is. Whether the X is needed, probably not I guess as it should be strong enough, does kinda finish it off tho.

    Whats the best way to remove the welding splatter without hitting the grinder on the welds? I've tried using a normal wire wheel attached on the grinder but didn't work. Is it the twisted wire wheel I need to do it?

    Might swell change title here too yeah, cheers.

    Ah i think i get ya. The x will look the great yes and work well in the set up..

    You could try and 80grit lose flatter wheel. That or a belt sander... Just to do the spots of splatter...
    even a twisted wire wheel i dont think/have found will more splatter...

    What as the title again? i'm at work so dont have MIG open..

    While I wait for an opportunity to go get my tubing and some sheet metal Ive just been working with the cardboard and making up the panel templates, such a tedious job but I'm getting there, slowly!












    Black felt tip lines are where I will add bead lines to the sheet metal.
