Another Body off BUT!

[paulathome]

OK guys,
I've stripped the car down ready for the big lift. Exhaust off, petrol tank out, all body bolts out, wiring removed and hand brake cable off. Engine bay wiring and pipework undone and labeled.
My questions are.....
1 what size tubing for out riggers?
2 what sise tube to slide inside out rigger tubes?
3 what size tube for seat belt mounts on out rigger side?
4 what thickness plate for corners of out riggers? (triangular bits)
5 Any recommended hot zink coaters and powder coaters around Manchester?

There has been some quality rebuilds on here the last few months so I've learnt alot and looking
forward to the job.
Any info gratefully received.
Plenty of chassis porn to follow I'm sure.
Paul.

Thats just what I needed, cheers Ian.
The corner plate measurements could be useful but its mainly just the thickness I'm after.
Need to get all materials together ready to cut to size, then hire the Mig welder.
Thanks again.
Paul.

Thanks guys for all the info. The company in Wrexham looks good, will ring in the next week or two.
I'm thinking of hot zink coating then powder coating so the company in wrexham looks the best I've seen
so far unless someone know better.
The ready made out riggers are a silly price for a few feet of tube welded together. I have access to a MIG welder and can weld so it's a no brainer for me to make my own.
Hopefully if the weather is good in the next week the body should be off to see the state of play, although the drivers side front out rigger has been tested with a screw driver and hammer and it's not good news as it went staight through the corner welds.
