Hi.


1. Will he have enough information to manufacture?
Yes, there is enough to manufacture with a bit of tweaking at present. There was a 5mm angle mod on the outer panel, but this is not on the drawing yet. I am waiting for Thinus to measrue the mod up. If some wants to start, I would first tack weld and assemble, do mods and then complete the weld. this way, we have enough
2. Am I allowed to use it for myself?
Thinus has said that we can use to manufacture for own use
3. how big was the mod on the waterbottle?
As far as I know, it involved cutting the bottle and then plastic welding together again. Nothing major

Just be aware that a slim winch was.used and that Thinus has another idea to lower the plate for a different winch. He is currently out of the country and will respond when back.

Pm me if you need to discuss further and I will send you my no

Please guys, I logged on my husbands pc...

He is driving me up the walls over this thread. Please can someone just send him something so that he can start with his bumper..... He drives me nuts!!!! I must admit after seeing the bumper I understand why he is like a little boy.

By the way, thank you for being prepared to share this information. With the money we can save by doing this ourself I can spoil him with something lacey for me and something he could use to finish this project....

Thanx guys.

Hi,

Stunning bumper. Just one question, hope its not a silly one. Are those high lift jacking points on the bumper ? I am sure I read somewhere that high lift jacking points cannot be fitted to the Gen 3 due to the monocoque chassis. In other words, is it fine to use high lift jack if a complete aftermarket bumper with jacking points is fitted ?

jacking from a bumper that is attached to the chassis or jacking from the chassis itself is much of a muchness.

the car gets jacked up for wheel changes so why would a hi lift be different.

the gen3 body is very strong! don't let the internet stories of sour grapes tell you otherwise!
