Need to know for future reference

Exactly, you never know if/when they'll be needed

What you paint it with also, looks decent finish?

I've got some hammerite clone and a brush to do mine

What you mean if??

It's Simoniz spray paint
The finish is pretty good for aerosol to be fair. I'm thinking about laying some lacquer on as I imagine its going to scratch and chip quite easily as it is.

No worries wazzzer

Ok little update from last 2 days.
Been working 12 hours so not had much time but managed to get some progress with the harness bar

As usual the pics will do most of the talking.

Made the mounting plates for the harness bar just needed a slight bend in the to sit flush.
Just takes them in place so I could get the harness bar made up.

Did plenty of measuring to make ire I got it perfect and cut the harness bar to size/shape and it got perfectly

I then Tacked the bar in place

Then removed the bar from the car to weld the bar too the plates and the. Got it back in the car and welded two sides on each plate before it got a bit dark haha

Then onto to tonight!

Managed to get the harness bar finished

Completely welded on and got some nice penetration with the welding so nice and happy

I the cleaned it all up and gave any necessary primer

And after it had all dried have it all a coat of black

At this point it was quite dark and couldn't really see what I was doing so packed up.
Will give it a
Couple more coats of black and then will give it all some lacquer to toughen it up abit

Also got a few more deliveries so I will get some photos tomorrow and update
