Rattle can roll bar in winter?

[shrops-paul]

Carbon wrap?

Carbon wrap?

 

you could probably do it with some form of "dip" system but not sure how robust it'd be

 

but me thinks how much weight you could save if it was real carbon - strength issues notwithstanding (which it probably wouldn't )

£50 at a local (to work) powder coater... Let's see the result next week

Got the rollbar back yesterday (after they called me to say that after inspection they found some imperfections which had to be corrected, pretty decent service!) and it looks pretty good for a £50 job

The only unfortunate thing is that I left the rose joints on the bar and the oven has cooked the rubbers on them, so I need to replace these (the rose joints). Does anyone know the dimensions/type of these? I'm thinking they are nothing special?

I bought a set of these, plus new Nylock nuts:

"1/2" x 1/2" ROSE JOINT Ultra High Performance Male RH Rod End McGill Motorsports"

Note, that I think I recall someone saying you can now get the joints in a 7/16" throat, that way you don't need the reducer sleeves...

Hi Quinten,

 

I've just been to both Competition Supplies and Trident Racing Supplies, at Silverstone Circuit. They both stock rose joints, and lots of other goodies!!

Cheers

No bother Gary, I got two from McGills 

I could only get one of the reducer sleeves out, so called Westfield this morning inquiring about them and see if they were available.  Sure she says, they are £1.88 a pair...  Great!...  and £3 postage   Ah well, my mistake, my wallet
