Hi all

After some technical advice I am building a swb buggy and having trouble with the clutch cable I have used the standard cable shortening kit for the throttle and handbrake but does not seem strong enough for the clutch?

Has anyone here have any other solutions?

Thanks in advance.

Looks great ;-)up

Is the roll cage bolted to the pan or have you made a perimeter frame that runs ontop of the pan?

Can't tell from the pics  :)

Cheers

Hi it is a perimeter frame that runs on top of the body, it bolts down through the frame the body then the floor pan/chassis.

It has been designed so the roll cage can be easily lifted out.

Hope it makes sense.

Cheers Rob there is no tin wear there at the moment! However I have fitted a new set of push rod tubes they are the sprung loaded ones so no need to remove cylinder heads, Have you had and experience of these as although now fitted im not sure they are that great????

Once returned the build began!





Once the body had been roughly painted in the blue it was decided that a role cage was needed so a custom made frame was made which can be removed as quick as the body

All started with a blind £350 ebay purchase





Stripped and had floorpan blasted on the plus side the main structure (Tunnel) was in great shape same could not be said for floor pans and front panel!








Floorpan then sent off to painters to look pretty
