you think??????????? B) B)

Here are a few more of the cage in the 90. Just a bit of wiring and its ready to go. Chris

depends on spec but between £600-£800 fitted and painted. Chris

Send whatever you have got and i will take a look. chrisblackburn110@hotmail.com Chris

Thats VERY true rog. You might be getting some work then............................

yup

Dave A cage that is strong enough NOT to deform but bend the chassis is a VERY BAD cage by design....FULL STOP A cage should absorb the impact to more or lesser degree. Nige I would say you are pretty much spot on. I have always used 3.6mm wall 45mm o/d CDS 2 tube for cages nice to bend and weld. Chris

Everyone has their own opinion. Chris

Will It depends what you are building a cage for????? I have seen 45mm, 50mm ,52mm all bend in certain circumstances.Was the smaller dia tube anealed which you mention ????? there are many reasons why you would or would,nt use 45mm tube.Cage design is far more important than tube dia alone. Chris PS 45mm is what i suggested.

I am there aswell,just got to set up new workshop,finish rear winch mount and a quick look over. Chris

Nice one.

Cheers everyone Al at the moment 2" is the max,but i am looking at a full cnc setup which will bend up to 4" just got to fine the funding for that. 13/4" and 2" are the most common sizes . Chris

Yep you are the 1st in the new book. Prices?????? what would raider like? I will need plenty of luck!!!!! I will be needing a worker soon if it all pans out!!!! Any takers? Mog can you give me a few pointers please?????

Hi all Thought i would let you all know that from the end of the month i will be setting up a NEW workshop in the Northampton/Wellingborgh area. My main stay of work will be continuing with manufacture of bespoke roll cages but aiming more towards the comp/challange market,underbody protection,rock sliders,winch mounts,fuel tanks, spare wheel carriers, exhausts (stainless only),tubular turbo manifolds and vvt conversions. I will offer a tube bending service for people wanting to construct their own cages. Alongside that vehicle prep for road,expedition and challange. The workshop will have FULL facilities to do EVERYTHING in house!!! i.e TIG,MIG,PLASMA CUTTING TUBE BENDING,FOLDING,PUNCHING,PRESSING,TURNING and MILLING. The name of the business is EXACT FABRICATION Kind Regards CHRIS TEL 07789690386

Yep i would no probs,send me a pm. Chris

EXACTLY

Cheers diesel The pics dont show that well how the cage runs along the door tops. Chris

Yep it wouldnt be a problem,if anyone wants a cage to WHATERVER spec they like it can be done. Chris

Thanks for that nige. I posted the same pics on the devon 4x4 forum and got loads of smart arse remarks!!!! IT JUST SHOWS THE DIFFERANCE BETWEEN THE FORUMS. I would love to build something like out of this world but at the mo time is the limiting factor which is frustraing with have ALL the tools to hand to put together a real good one off. Chris

The 3 bars are to help in the event of it going over to stop anything pushing through into the cab area.Even though we are going to be wearing helmets this year. Regards chris

I you want one send me a pm 110 and we acn have a chat. Chris

Thanks for the comments lads. I would have thoughht moglite and hybrid would have gave it a roasting

Mil hoop INSIDE with T45 rear stays and dia.The canvas can be pulled out from behind the plate by taking the bolts out i never roll the side up anyway. Chris

Pics 3 and 4 you can see the feet they are 10mm x 45mm x 125mm bolted with 12mm 12.9 cap heads and nylocks,sorry no pics of inside. The plates on the side go through to an internal hoop which is mounted on the side of the tub AND to the chassis via a cross dia and 2 rear stays. Chris
