I though you would have made some pegs up to do this, as they are only std items with the three driveshaft bolts changed for pegs.

i know that would be a simple fix but the main reason i got new flanges & stubs was the last time i tarted it all up i got the front & rear stubs & flanges zinc plated & they are tight as fook to the point i totally mullered the threads trying to strip them apart

to be honest doug i get one of the lads from work to do my tig welding as mine is not that good, if you can gas weld then you should be able to tig its all down to practice which is some thing i never get time to do .

Ah right, can't beat a free shot of something I was just curious as a TIG set is on my shopping list for the future, maybe next year.

the down side of fitting the cage is because im a lanky twat & i raised the floor pan to fit twin side exit exhaust i now have to cut out the o/s rear floor & drop it down 4 "s so i can get my big head in with out hitting the cage ..

at least i can use my grinder again to do some cutting.
