I researched some versions on 'tinterweb using rather smart panhard rod bushes and brackets to locate the cage to the chassis.
We decided that having gone this far we might as well put the cherries on it
Unaware of such issues, so well done, Rick

Mrs uses that cow mat stuff to line the floor in her stable.
The stuff she has got is about an inch thick.
Looking the biz by the way Pete

Fantastic work Pete You might find getting the rear 1/4 panel trims back on a little interesting as there doesn't look a lot of room to get them back in. There is a rumour that Alex is on his way down to yours with a tin of hammerite to paint your roll cage for you

Another long day at the chassis face today
However, the roll cage to chassis mounts now done. Cut a bit of conveyor belt to act as an insulator between body and mount.

Welded up the brace

Then after some serious wind break construction the boy got it welded in place

That ain't coming off in a hurry
