Ive decided Im going to put a 3 point cage in my '62 daily and give it a retro rally look, inspired by Keith Timpsons car.

I have a 4 point kicking about which Im going to modify but I need the 3rd leg making up.

Does anyone have facilities to bend a bit of tube for me if I supply a pattern?

I seriously doubt it!

Endaf's got a CNC pipe bender, let me know the OD and I'll check he's got the right former.

Paul, I'm honoured to have inspired you! I'm sure the car will turn out an absolute peach as per your usual work. With my car I've tried to do nothing that cannot be reversed back to original. Look forward to seeing the car when it's done.

Sorry, I can't bend pipe, my cage came pre-bent from Roll Center I just notched it, fitted it & made a few gussets.
