so today I had a lot of fun, feeding up my "anorexia" deal.... :D :lol: marco polo sent me a pix of his modded roll-bar, where he chopped off the metal head-frames, so.....guess.... I HAD to do the same..... :groupjump: for such somewhat delicate job, I trusted again the same steel shop that manifactured my harness bar....they gladly agree to help me out again ....(and they will drill 68 :P additional holes in the harness bar, making it subst. lighter from its 3,2 kg) the worker made sure not to cut into the soldering line, that could weaken the roll-bar..... here he is while performing surgery... :P

...but the main bonus is that visibility is tremendously improved!!! B) :) this is the visual field through the (smaller, 180 grams :P ) rearview mirror..... almost like a football field!!! :lol:

ricky you are mental - top bloke! :D have you ever heard the story of the farmer who fed his donkey on a little less food every day? i guess not... ;) i was sat thinking about the splitters you added to the front the other day - i smiled to myself about the weight you saved by drilling the holes in the body to fix them on. have you weighed her recently? vinyl plates have to be next on your list.... [me sings] what the world needs now... is love sweet love. it's the only thing that there's just too little of...[/me sings]

Yeh. Good move. I did this to mine a coupla weeks ago. Unlike the guy in the pix please wear eye protection, ear defenders and gloves when angle grinding. Also, its best to completely mask off the rear window or it will be pitted by hot metal swarf. Also, unlike the pix, try to get a straight edge and then it can be finished with rubber edge protector. Get latter by mail order from Woolies website. cuddles El Griffo
