with the wooden blocks out of the way the whole cage was lowered 2,5" giving enough clearance to weld the top of the cage.

I take it we don not want to know how the finger acident came about

[volvodspec]

Soccer, had a great tackle and played the ball. Unfortunatly the opponent placed his foot on my hand

Have you thrown away all of the CVT stuff that you removed?

[volvodspec]

most of it went under my 343 actually


as a 343's CVT box doesn't have the ideal (quieter) weight/springs ratio as the later 340's have i swapped it for the box that was under this car, i did take it all apart first; checking/adjusting the mechanical gearlever, replaced a few seals and put it back together along with new belts/fresh oil and a powdercoated subframe

Looking good what did you make the cage out off

[volvodspec]

stainless steel tube i insisted on stainless for the looks, initial and welded finish and the difficulty for getting it done right, stainless is a metal that behaves rather strange when you work with it; everybody that talks about the weight vs chromoly tube should know that all the tube/plates/bolts etc will set me back 35kg on the total weight of the car, that's peanuts
