- In this episode I finally fit the roll cage for the last time, but it was not as easy as I initially thought.

Sharpening drills was the first thing they taught us in apprentice training school and it is a skill.
Yep I think everyone should no how to do it. I am still learning as sometime I make them worse 😂😂
Kev what great satisfaction your getting with this rebuild, your workmanship is second to none 👍👍
Thank you, its not perfect but it's a great project
Looking good. Had a r/angled drill for work for ages, top addition. 👍
cheers yep love it, I wish I bought one years ago
Proud to be a sponsor for the fire system Kev, hope you don't use it.
Looking at your rollcage, I'll be tying mine into the A post and B post too with gussets etc...
Mines a bolt in cage too, but probably a bit cheaper than the one you've fitted. Mine has the door bars but no diagonal across the back or harness bar, but they will be added on soon when I get onto getting mine back on the road.
Awesome, yea this cage has lots of additional bars and off the top of my head it's a 24 point cage with all those additional bolts. . But as you say if you can tie in the pillars on yours it will be a bonus. Thanks again for being a sponsor, I am chatting with my mate who helped design our logo with regards making some sort of fire sponsorship sticker for rally mjni.
Looking amazing sir. Good job
Thank you
Looks very neat Kev. Maybe get a little magnet in there to catch any hidden bits of swarf.
Hey that's a good call
Looking great.
Thank you, I am pleased the way the build is looking
I love that cage it's so smart!
Cheers mate, I bought it from minisport on one of their black Friday deals 😂 it must make it super rigid but it weights a ton
Brilliant video kev, that's certainly a substantial cage.
cheers mate, yep it defo won't make the mini go any faster, in fact with all the additional kit its going to be a lot slower, however, and thankfully its going to be a lot safer. glad you enjoyed the video
@@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam what final drive are you running kev? ....just out of interest
Looks crackin sir, i,m getting excited for ya !
Thanks mate
Looks superb Kev. After marking the door bars, could you not have taken them out and drilled them with the pillar drill?
I wish I lived in the IofW, it's always sunny down there!
its alway lovely one the Isle of Wight :) - yes I could do that with the door bars, good point, but I could not do it with the holes that needed drilling into the adjoining cage tube. each sleeve has 4 bolts 2 go through the bars and 2 through the cage. but its a very good point I could have done half of them in a pillar drill. glad you liked the video
Kev, Lethal Weapon Danny Glover. Great job on the roll cage i know what you mean about drilling every hole before fitting it lol. Cheers Dave
Ha ha, yep Danny glover - you live and learn, at least I know for next time
wow this is coming together so nicely!!! everytime i tried sharpening bits, i failed miserably.. im going to try again though
Cheers mate yea I am finding it difficult especially with smaller drill bits but it's skill worth learning as it sometimes means you can carry on with a project
You n Binky down the final stretch.....
The last 10% takes 90 % of the time. Well I hope not 😂
I know its from Lethal Weapon but don't he also say it when they meet in Maverick? That gotta be the Spitfire that flys out of Goodwood👍😁
I think so. Its always flying over cowes and the solent during the summer
@@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam Same here, I live in Bognor, I enquired about a flight some time ago and for a 30min flight to the Needles and back was nearly 4000 quid. 😵
Ps can you please make the videos a little longer?
I am glad you enjoy them that much. I edit an awful lot out as I am always worried people would find it boring.
Now you have me thinking.... I might start adding longer uncut versions of the videos on the Patrion page. Cheers Andy for the idea I will give you a shout out on the channel if I do go ahead with tjis
I need to stop watching your videos. Your making me want a mk2 and a rally mini 👀
Ha ha, add a mk2 s to your collection 😉
@@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam he needs to stop buying Mini's that don't need work 😂
Lethal Weapon?
Yea dude. It was the catchphrase of Danny glovers character Roger Murtaugh in all the lethal weapon films. Well done mate
I think Bruce Willis might say something similar in one of the later Die Hard films too
