Post by: animal on May 31, 2009, 10:13 PM: When I was a kid about 12 I made these bars :LolLolLolLol: They were originally burner bars I think then if I remember correctly I attacked them with a scaffold bar and rebent them ;) Then cut the v brace out ::) Then cut up a piece of tube from god knows :-\ Then filed it and arc welded it in 8) But as I recall I had never used a welder before just watched my mates dad then used his welder 2 do the job when he wasn't about :daumenhoch: They r Bollox bars but they will never leave me :smitten: One of my first proper bodges :coolsmiley:
