A better pic of where both ends of the tube that supports the top of the Coilover of where they tie in at would be awesome.

I am sorry this was the best pic I had.
The gearbox has a special mount (bellhouse side). from this mount there are tubes going to the top of the main hoop. the torsiontube is narrowd therefore the body mounting point is on the inside of the innerwing (nrmally on the outside). I made the second tube from this body mounting point to the first tube (this makes a triangle). The schok is mounted to the tube that is going from the body mounting point to the first tube. Stil with me?

Thanks.
I am following the drag race rules (rules received from Rojo Racing) as good as possible.

Started on the cage part in the sparewheel area. First I made it with plastic pipes.



Then copied it from steel.


Attached to the cage inside.


One down, one to go.

Can you get the fuel tank out OK, looks close! The bends look good, what sort of bender are you using?

Hi Rich,

Not sure about the tank yet. First I have to shorten the right tube a bit and tack-weld them.
The bender is just a simple hand (hydraulic) pump.
