          Just found and caught up on this entire thread.

          Amazing fabrication skills you have sir and the attention to detail is incredible!

                OK you testy little fucks, Christmas is gone and so are the hols so...

                Managed a bit of work, nothing major but even a little progress is nice at the moment.

                Mounted Andrews seat. Cheers fella!


                Sorted a position for the shifter higher and further back than stock and uses the stock E46 stuff.



                Also, because of the unknown age and specs of me poor old welder, I did some destructive testing on some tube with 3mm wall.





                So with 2.5mm wall cage steel I think we're all good for weld strength.

                Finally, anyone care to critique my cage landings?











                Thinking maybe they protrude too far from the sill?

                      Probably want to put plates under the plinth blocks. Also, you could gain some strength following the profile of the rocker better. Of course you will loose the ability to run your wiring there. But, do you really want to run wiring between your cage and body?

                        Nice spot Bob! I hadn't seen that. Def want spreader plates between the plinth's and the floor.

                          Unfortunately it's all for nought for now. There's not enough in the pot for racing even next season so for now we'll assemble it into a road/track day slut and work towards a racer for the season after, or not, maybe. We'll see.
