Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Thats exactly like mine, right down to the fixings, mine is made from 4mm clear acrylic (perspex) and didnt flap in the wind at the centre bottom. Great minds i guess !! Good to hear it didnt flap in the wind aswell ! This was my first off prototype after the cardboard version to get the size right !! The brackets were made as that was all i had, sounds like a plan using guttering clamps to fit it though, i hadnt thought of them ! Well they're allready black and 50mm dia, no powder coating to chip, I also lined them with some 3mm sticky back foam so they wouldnt mark the roll bar, and to lessen any chance of vibration I'm sure I posted a piccy on here a few years ago, when I first did it.

Muttleys V8 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwesty Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 ive made contact with a company that makes them for production cars. He has asked me to supply some pics & dimensions for a template. He may well contact the factory to see if he could sell some into there accessorys line. I'll ask for a budget price and we could see about a bulk buy of maybe half a dozen (if thats a bulk buy)! It wont be a next week thing though, it may take a few weeks to get it to a point of being able to be sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott beeland Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 What the hell's a wallpaper template? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Cut a piece of wallpaper (or cardboard) as a template of the inside dimensions of your roll bar. Send it to them. Tell them the diameter of the roll bar tube. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott beeland Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Ah,,,A literal wallpaper template. I figured you meant some kinda techy computer drawing thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
