proberbly easier to make one mate, if you're planning on tipping it over chances are you have a welder, get a couple of lengths of box section and some tube and make one up

you say you want a decent one but dont wanna spend much? you would really be better off making one, we made one that cost only some box section and did the job perfectly we also made it so that its universal and will fit to the next car we have waiting to go on it.
