Its started, paul wiginton you are a bad man. I knew it was not a good idea camping next to you at avon!! Well you have planted the seed about a rear beam so i have been thinking about it all weekend, i may make one (or get someone to lol) and a light weight subframe for the front. I have dropped 2 1/2 kgs off the passenger seat mount and it cost me 2 old drills so went down to B&Q for a BIG drill and also 3 hole saws, good thing CEF had a deal on 70% off them, might go down for more next weekend.
This is the fruits of my labour.
