How thick is the RHS Colin ?
... and do you have any pics of how you used it for the chassis braces in your previous coupe?

(Apologies in advance if it's secret squirrel racer stuff, I'm new at this) 


It's mighty encouraging and motivating ... I formed a few patches myself this weekend after seeing your floors, thanks !

Hey Craig
The RHS is 25 x 75 @ 1.6mm Wall thickness, the end buts up against the firewall and i intend to tie the roll cage to the other side of it.

Couple of photos of the fix on the old car with RHS inside the chassis rail

a few brake Master cylinder upgrades on the chassis this weekend

also will probably sell my old twin master cylinder bracket setup(picture on the blog), so PM me if interested

Love your work Colin.  Roll cages are important, as you've well proven.

Here's an example why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBbz38EeJ5c

Hey Colin, I sent you an email at

colin@Idontgiveashitaboutalfastuffthatdosntwork.com.au

but it bounced strangely.

I believe it should be


colin@Idontgiveashitaboutalfastuffthatdoesntwork.com.au

Anyway, good work.

[Colin Byrne]

strange that spell check didn't pick that up....

Welding is a more practical skill than speling.

Bad speilers of the world untie!

[Colin Byrne]

haha, nice one

Once the cage is complete, the next job on the list is to look at this rack, mmmmm rack

Anyway, in order to check clearances, i'm going to need to fit the engine and gearbox, normally this would not be a big deal, but unfortunately my gearbox mounting plate (the one that bolts to the chassis) is no longer straight, in fact it appears to represent some type of post modern art rather than an engineering bracket, so I'm on the hunt for another bracket, anyone got one lying around?

more cage pics, got it all welded in and have started on the bracing to the body
