Tread Lightly

I presume they will have it on trade plates to get it back and I won't be able to use it, no mud guards and lights. I will be able to prep and paint the rear chassis before the cage is fitted. I would also like to do something with the exhaust....

They're doing first class job Sniper - dead happy for you. Whats your plan of attack for the chassis, what products are you planning to use to clean it up?

Reece did a sterling job cleaning the chassis, he also coated the front half, I'll have to find out what in......

My choice would be Buzzweld stabilising primer and raptor top coat......

Cleaning would be manual, wire brush, grinder if needed.

She's home for a while...... still not to be used, no mudguards.....



Not to everybody's taste but I love it....

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationWow! thats looking good mate!

Very quick work there too, well done indeed.

Love the trailerboard for rear lights :laugh:

Have a look on this link for some good quality lights: www.carbuilder.com/uk/lighting

and have a look at these for rear wheel arches:


...although you could be better off with some single wheel versions (ask Dave Jones - I think he might have some or a link for them )

I fitted some of above arches to the trailer today and found them much easier to cut to fit than the ones on ulysses (different sort of plastic i think)

It looks brilliant Sniper. That sounds like a really good approach to rust-proofing the chassis. I went with dinitrol for mine but if I were to do it again I'd use something like Buzzweld.

Looks mint pal
Has for rear lights you know i like cheap to replace stuff
So here's my two pence worth
RTC 5012 x2 with yellow bulbs
RTC 5523 x4 2 for stop tail 2 for fogs 1 each side
RTC 5524 x2 yellow (i would have clear with yellow bulbs)
RCT 496 in the middle for reverse
