Hopefully get these finished tomorrow night. Would you like them shot blast when done ready to paint or just left as the raw machine finish? smile

Very nice job! Seems a shame to cover such lovely work with paint but I suppose shot-blasting would be best. PM me and let me know what I owe you please. Thank you thumbup

Skill's right there....

"Niche is nice" smile

Oh and if it were me I would have them raw as its helps to add to the tlc effect of Wedge ownership....There is nothing more therapeutic than polishing ya Wedge....biggrin

As always a drawing is needed or something I can measure from. I'm a griff owner so like for like is easier as I have a template from my own car.
But square bars don't sound an issue. Getting the stock material could be as I tend to use bits of scrap left over from my genuine work. I don't do mass produced cnc. Anything will be set up and machined by myself using manual machines.

If you're after roof stays would it be worth following this up? http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I could do the stay bars out of 25mm dia aluminium bar but I'm unsure what size your old steel ones are?
I could refurb your old steel ones perhaps or use one for measurements for new Ali bar if the diameter is large enough?

I have an old set of steel ones off an 'S' if they are the same size.
