the swallow tail project has begun.......

[Whubbsie]

damn alex you're an absolute artist

[Preen59]

would be glad to help, very similar to stainless though a little less forgiving but same principles

I'm hopeless at both! Haha! Any TIG welding i need to get done that is tricky or has to look good, i get one of 2 of my mates that are handy on it to do it for me.

Knowing how hard it is allows me to appreciate the work you do even more so.

Hey alex, how many bolts do you have for the cage to the body?

[alex g]

10 x M12 and 10 x M8

[Volksee77]

OK cool man. the pictures looked a little deceptive from this angle and it looked like the rear legs were only secured with two bolts. Nice welding too. How much will the cage weigh with all those fillets and extra bracing from a curious point of view? My car came in at 901kg including a six point cage with additional rear bracing and double door bars.
