Ok well since i gave my rear bar some love i have been starting to work out what i wanted.

also had a bonus.. after i had drawn up basicly what i wanted, i relised that i already owned a bar that looked nearly what i wanted and just needed some 9inch love and new mounts etc

so some pics i started today and removed my old rear bar, wow not much holds them on! and started to take to the big girl.. i do inted on getting it powder coated once it is done 2.

Started with..



removed and started on new bar.



this side will be plated in etc but u get the point.



i still need to remove old mounts, make new ones, recover points, haymon Reece hitch, fill in holes for ghey tail lights, find round tail lights that i like and make a mount somewhere for reversing light.

[MrRocky]

[jonno_racing]

as always..

i will add the rear bar is actually a zook one lol..

[jonno_racing]

i need a mig! grr..







i might put in a order for some slim line numberplates to.. still a bit more chopping of body to be done 2.

Looks good matey, would look better if it sat closer to the bottom of the rear door

[jonno_racing]

yeah it will..
that was only just proped up so i could get a ruff idea of what it was going to look like

and i like it!

also did u add me to face book?

[PJ.zook]

Nice work, good to see you are giving it a go yourself.

[jonno_racing]

yeah PJ i have never been scared to make stuff! i built my front bar 2. and everything elce just a matter of ordering my tail lights atm and finish monts etc.

[jonno_racing]

this is the 500mm of 100x8mm flat bar (actualy 2.5mtrs off 100x10mm love buying stuff from my old work)


had to grind a bit out and clean a bit up but fits up nice



Removed some junk that is not needed any more, the points will be mounted with 2x10mm 8.8s with crush tube inbetween the chassis.


Haymond reece mount in, needs to have center hole drilled, and shortened. i am going to try to keep the amount hanging out of the bar to a minimum


might try get a bit more done tomorow but i am putting it off till i get my new mig!

[jonno_racing]

Ok updates on bar. i finished the mounts, cut out for the LED tail lights, and tacked it all up.. haymond reece recever is done 2

Constructive critisam or piss take?

What's the edge distance of the hole for the reese hitch bolt to end of SHS and what size is the hole?

minimum edge distance should be 1.5x bolt hole.

[steak_knife]

That does look good... Mount it up Jonno!!!!!!

2 be honest mate i have no idea atm. i think the hole is 14 or 16mm and the gap is 25mm from memory! to be honest tho i would be much more concernd about it tareing the bar out of the chassis before the end out of the recever

[fully sick coily]

was it verry hard to wire up new lights?

[Gadzuks]

Mate, that's sweeet! Looks real nice. I like your cutting and shutting work, it gives it a very nice shape.
