G'day mate, if you still have the rear firewall aside I wouldn't mind working out a way to try and get it up here. We are after one for a
restoration on a customer's beetle.
Let me know either way.
Cheers

Hi Al , me and Ben just went out and dug the firewall section and rear wheel arches out of the bottom of the scrap metal bin . firewall and wheel
arches are in great condition , but cant say the same for my hands lol (only a few minor sctratches ) let me know what you need and we can send them
up with Michaels oval body . Wayne
|
Fantastic Wayne, thanks very much for your efforts - sorry about the cut up hands! Firewall is what I am after basically (well its actually for Dave
Butler). I did need one for the customer's project however we ended up just repairing what was there due to time constraints. However Dave is still
after one so sending it up with the oval for Michael would be sincerely appreciated. Obviously happy to help contribute to costs.
Cheers
Al

Hi Westi..Put the bend in for more clearance to the seat and i cranked the side bars outwards towards the door for the same. Side bars and yet to be
made rear stays will both meet at the bend. this is my first attempt at a cage so it may be differant to others , but as long as it complies when i am
finished that is fine by me.

I'd double check with ANDRA tech person or rule book about cage design , the front loop bar pad looks to small ( there is a set size ) plus they are
on a hollow section ( heater tube can crush down )
Cage being welded to body might be a touchy point becouse the body can separate from pan , I know it will be tide in to floor pan at rear . It pays
just to check .
