Hi Hans.
That would be great, if you could post a link on here to the ebay page, once you have some braces fabricated .
Regards,
Ian.

Hi Hans,
Im not far from you at Norwich and am building a S12 similar to you for drifting and trackdays but yours looks like it is better prepared to be honest.
What subframes did you use for your seats mate?
I used Fiesta seats and bolted them stright to the floor!
Did you make the cage? If so could you give me a the size and diamter of the pipe you used please?
Cheers,
Ian.

I made the subframes up from 3mm mild steel for the bucket seats adjustable rails to bolt to.
The tube used to build my roll cage is 1.5mm thick 38mm diameter mild steel tube. It was designed and built by me at my workshop.
Hope this helps?
Hans.

Cage tube wants to be CDS tubing too, if you want it to do it's job properly, from the dimensions given it sounds like thats whats been used in this one.

Sorry to those waiting for me to put a thread up here for the strut braces I have began to make, but it is very hard for me to get hold of any nice looking obround section ali tubing. Can it be made from 25 to 30 mm diameter round tube or some rectangular tube like 40 x 20mm?
Hans
