Yeah look easy...but I can tell it's not The real making is quite simple... But the thinking of where you want to put that, what is the point when I make that there, which form, how should I make that.. that cost a lot of thinking and time..

But hell yeah.. in dutch: Met gezond verstand kom je een heel eind! (With healthy thinking you come an hole end)

Hey mates.. It's been an long time but here's an other update.

At first we had drawn where the tubes will go trough the "dashboardmetal" and cut that out.

At this point I was lucky that I already had removed the "freshairbox" that is hanging in the boot under the frontwindow because otherwise the cage couldn't be coupled to the frontstruts.

I also was obliged to remove the trunkhangs (do you call them so??). Tja The cage didn't fitted otherwise so hell yeah than the hangs has to get lost :wink:

nice work what kind of tubing are u using.

[Racelook]

I use 42,4mm diameter tube with an thickness of 3,25mm. The tubes are "offglowed" after the bending/mold proces in the fabric so that there are no stressreflexes left in the tube. (I hope that you understand what I'm telling in my bad english)
