The other half of the cross is made almost on the right size. Here a little pre-look at it.

At first I had maked two other holes in the dashboardplate so that the tubes from the struts can go to the cage.

Also we had bendend 2 tubes that will go in front of the doors from the a- to the b-pillar.


After that we welded brackets on the tube at the a-pillar. So that the tube from the strut can be mounted to the cage.

WAKE UP, WAKE UP:
It's time for another update.

Last week I've begun starting to bend the last tubes for the cage.
http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fo...2005001341.jpg

And that gives this final result.

It need to be shortend on the right size and then also this one can be welded in.

Also is the cross welded in.
http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fo...2005001514.jpg

And that gives this nice picture (if I may say).


Here some detailpics of the welding

Mondayevening also 2 tubes mate on the right size.

Mwhaa Ben.
There's only an verry little update of the cage. The "fixingtubes" are widered (uitgedraaid in het nederlands) for the right diameter and are drilled so that the several pieces of the cage can be bolted together at the end.

The next update will be over a couple of weeks I'm afraid because I'm now verry busy with the chassis (new fuellines 2*12mm and new brakelines). When I've fixed that I will paint the chassis and the cage at the same time.

If I'm not mistaken the correct therm for "widered" is machined off (als ik me me goed kan herinneren van de Engelse les vroeger tenminste)
