northernchris Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Good Luck with the site. I'm fine for all the steel fabrication down in the south but I need help with the try back design I know what I want but it getting it made from Ally something that strong, functional and looks pretty. But I have not asked Tonk yet he may be able to do it for me unless you have some particularly good ideas. Julian no rush I have not even ordered the chassis yet but it will be done before Billing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollythelw Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Good luck Chris - does your tube bender have a spring back compensation facility? or do you calc that yourself? Im wondering if I can ping up a drawing and just have a flatpack buggy frame turn up? B) whats your preferred drawing format?
