We're getting real close! Just gotta button a few minor things up,make motor mounts and find a spot to hide the NOS bottle. Question: where can I find the screen for the windshield? I'm having a hard time finding anything with the right diameter wire. Attachment 121282Attachment 121283Attachment 121284

I used the bottom of an old shopping kart

They have 1.5" opening wire mesh that has large enough wire to pass tech...

Erichards,

Also, from the pic's you've shared, you are missing a b-pillar on your cage? There should be a bar that supports the main halo where the upper corner of the windshield and door meet.

The screen, to me, looks like the woven wire material that is used for gravel screens - it comes in various wire diameters and 'hole' sizes.

Originally I was going to use 14” wheels but there just aren’t many options for tires. I have 2 full set of nice centerline wheels for my truck in 14” but resorted to a craigslist set of steel wheels. 28” is about as big as it gets in an AT.

Thanks bob =] yeah i seen the general tires A/Ts im thinking 28s are too small i have a set of steelies from my tocoma with 30s mounted on them ghetto i know but it works lol just wish i could have ran those wheels bummer! thanks for the info though! =]

Yeah, something like that. Also, in the near future, possibly 2013 but more likely by 2014, a ribbon type window net will be required.

Looks good! Are you going to bring it to Vegas this year?

10-4, I'll weld one in. We'll switch to whatever net is required, I think we found one of the only ones of this type that has an SFI tag. We are planning on coming to Vegas, we'll see how Speedworld goes.
