Just a small update. One of those jobs that is a pain in the arse and doesn't look like you've done much.
One of the things that had been iritating me about the roll bars was the original mounts on the chassis. They were way out of square! With the roll bars installed they both leaned inwards. The difference from top to bottom was about an inch.
Every time I looked at them it was very obvious to me. I thought I could live with it that way but the other week I said bugger it and grabbed the angle grinder and the plasma torch.
I cut the original mounts off and straightened them up and rewelded them. Now they are square within a couple of mm.
Unfortunately in doing this I also had to redo my new inner mounts as they were square to the original chassis mounts.
It was good parctice for doing verticle welds which can be a pain to do as your weld puddle wants to fall down.
So roll bars are all straight now and just about finished. I've started stripping the chassis down to get it sand blasted so I can repaint it. With all the welds and mods the original paint is a mess.
Cheers
