Interesting to hear that Plushy.....that bar would cop a heap of load. Will test my newfound welding skills fixing it.
Have taken apart the windscreen frame and set it up back to original.
The frame was reversed by the previous owners to fit the shortened roof after they cut out the roof hatch and welded sheet metal in its place.
Why?........ I have no idea.
I used another unmolested (but very holey & rusty) frame as a template. Involved a bit of mucking around - but thats the whole point with a Blitz isnt it??
I admit I had to redo a few welds I'm still learning the finer arts. More than a few rods were used and a fair bit of angle grinding. But the result was better then new.
I havent test fitted it yet but I'll let you know the result even if it is embarrassing!!
