      ​@@FabCoUK , but there's brackets and then there's the Eiffel Tower 🗼 on its side bracket! Especially if you triangulate the three rods with thinner bar! That would certainly be an epic bracket, actually I can hear it "make the noise" of perfection!

    I could watch this guy for hours. Makes everything that I’ve ever tried to do look woefully inadequate. A bit like Alan Millyard with the work he does with motorbikes. Clever gits must have got my share of talent because I get tired just watching.

    HI.. Im a huge fan of Your FabCo channel. Not the less this Allegro sleeper project. I love it.. My mum and dad had a few Allegro´s back in the late 70s.. The Allegro were, maybe not, one of the biggest highlights in car building history.. So, turning this Austin into a Turbo beast, is just fun. It takes quite a skilled craftmanship AND Tig welder to build such a manifold, I can tell.. Really nice done. Keep up the great work..
