solihull-mick:
Big thanks  to barmie brummie for the weekends fun, glad the new disco is all up and running, steve has asked me to say a big thank you for the old disco in payment for labour given, hes so excited about getting it on the muddy stuff, we will pop over tomorrow nite to look at the other disco shell, as betty boos old shell is very holey, and doing a shell swop will be far quicker, plus we can paint it as a shell while its off the chassis.

Also many thanks for all the scaffolding tube, looking forward to hours of bending and welding making a full cage for steve and the disco

barmiebrumie:
Yes a good weekend was had & Iam really shattered now Becky's new Disco runs a treat she will be pleased, will be putting the new wheels/tyre's on on tues, then get cb & cd player fitted befor the weekend & hay presto all done, Oh what a good daddy am I  :lol:  :wink: ,

If you need anymore scaff tubes just let me know,

Fingers:
I must say, its things like this, people getting stuck in to help one another i mean, that make these such good places.

Good to see there are still decent people out there.


Out of curiosity, what do you use to bend the scaff tubes to make the cage?

Well to bend the scaff tube, ive made a bender, using a 10 ton bottle jack, mounted in to a frame with two rollers above the jack, and a former on the jack ram, how far you pump the jack depends on  the radius of bend you get, what i tend to do is count the number of full pumps on the jack, then you get them all the same, works really well, cost me about 35 quid to make,

Sounds good.

Any chance you could post a couple of pics (or a link if you got the idea from somewhere else) as i may copy this in the future if you dont mind.

Cheers, Mark
