Tbh the outriggers where corroded and one tube had a hole but all in al the chassis was in good shape. after googling taimar chassis' there's some bad ones out there!!

Nice work. Did you fabricate the outriggers yourself or purchase them? I will need to replace the outriggers on my 3000M.

We fabricated them ourselves. Got a local steel supplier and got on well with the lady ( she's bloody gorgeous!!) and got all the steel for £5

Tbh tho after lookin at places like RT racing and others for the cerbs I could make some money from building pre fab'd ones. cheap to make and sell stupidly expensive... but i couldn't sit and watch people getting ripped off!!

Last time my M ran, I took my Saluki and Afghan on around town trips.

It's not just a parcel shelf, you know. Tight quarters, but fine once they mere settled.

Can't remember if I ever tried to squeeze my wolfhound into it.

Best,
B.
