Hey guys, been a while since I've been able to get to shop.

Picked up Contano S14 5 lug hubs


Borrowed a buddies tube bender and bought a Princess Auto tube notcher. This is the biggest POS I've seen but it was cheap and I needed something asap. The blue bushing housing had a ton of play to the shaft and the hole saw adapter had huge runout so I made a new shaft assembly out of some spare bearings and milled a plate with a step to align them. Popped a 3/8" hex socket into the end and pinned it so it will never spin so I can adapt to any drill and the wobble of the drill will be taken up by this adapter.



Bent up some scrap pieces of tube to get angles right without using the good DOM



Bent up full A-pillar bars



Halo bar notched nicely.

Next will be dash bar and halo to main hoop. Should I go straight back or X for the roof bars?
