If you can get 100x100 box section and just shape the ends of it by cutting some out and leaving a "flap" to bend and weld into place to shape the ends?

I've ordered 100mm x 50mm box, going to bend the ends back and weld it back together ten going to make some plate to fill the gap at the top and some plate to do the angled bit at the bott and then shape the bottom corners, will all make sense when I get on my laptop and I'll uploa the design I'm going for...

I've looked through a fair few recent builds and can't find a thing.

Maybe it was on the Facebook group or posted in the bar or gallery.

Just design your own :D

I like my old one, shouldn't have sold it

Going to make one like this for mine though, I like simple tube bumpers.

I sold it to someone who then decided to cut it up to use parts of it to make another bumper nowhere near as nice :pissed: think he only actually used the chassi smounts, would have been easier to make them from scratch :argh:
