Fun with Tubing

[jharfst]

Took a break from bodywork and Craig came over with a tubing bender and helped me bend some tube. In all we bent a couple of 90's for some roll bar tie-ins for the rear seat belt bar, some U-shaped pieces for front seat mounts, and a winch brace/guard. Here is the winch guard/brace in place (turned out perfect):




Gonna pull the whole bumper now and paint it all. Waiting on some parts for the 8274 I picked up to come in then it'll have a new home ready and waiting. I'll post up pics of the other pieces when I have done something with them.

Man, I gotta get me one of those things.

Thanks Craig,

Anytime, Jim. It turned out good.

Here are some pics of the final result with the winch finally assembled and mounted. Turned out pretty good. I like the look the tube added to it and the extra support for the winch can't be bad either.

Got one of the roll bar tie-ins to the rear seatbelt bar done. The plan was to connect the rear roll bar mount on the fenderwell to the bar that I made to hold the seat belts for the rear seat. I believe it should be a little stronger than attaching the seat belts to the tub and give me a point to tie into the frame later if I want.

Here is the seat bracket:



And the tie-in:
