Roll cage, where from
Decided to have a roll cage but I will also be having a roof, so where can I get a cheap one from. Very tight budget unfortunately. Any ideas? Can one
be easily made?

You can make one but you'ld need to be a seriously good welder (or trust someone who is) and you'ld need the right equipment to bend the
tubes.....

Just been looking on ebay, 2 90 deg bends and 4 metres in 42mm tube £45 delivered. Not bad, could probably buy tubing locally cheaper but £15 for the
2 bent parts delivered is quite good I think.

Thats not bad. When i was looking for someone to bend a tube, i was quoted £15 per bend!
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Have a chat with Welderman. I got roll cage seamless tube, bent + rear legs and diagonal much larger than the standard westfield (have your head
higher than the roll bar) size for what i think is a good price.
Nice chap to deal with as well - still haven't fitted it yet mind you.

I wouldn't give him a penny of my money for anything to do with steel...
He's a complete charlatan...
Having said that - I could be just jealous of hs awesome fabrication prowess...
