my new DIY front tube bar
Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2010 2:02 pm
After seeing others do great jobs on their bars i thought i would have a go myself.
The bar is 3.2 mm 50nb tube with a 3.2mm 25nb tube below. 3mm rhs for the mounting and support and all wraped in 3mm plate The hoop is 3" 1.6mm mandrel bent pipe with 2 spottie mounts and the uhf mount. Also have holes drilled on the plate to fit 2 250mm spoties.
Gained about 200mm on my aproach angle in the middle and about 300 on the sides compared to the old alloy bar.
Bash plate is 1 folded piece of 3mm plate
Checkerplate on the sides
Made it to suit my 2" bodylift and its held on by 8 high tensile 12mm bolts.
What do ya think? im pretty happy with it.
Cheers
Tom.
