Bloody Hell! :D
If the jig looks that good, then modifying the front end should be childs play. Thats the best looking jig I have seen for a One off purpose, for a long time. 8) 8)
Thumbs up here.

I would be a keen customer if you were to start producing such shortened front ends :)

Send me a PM when your ready for one :wink:

I've still got a few chassis kits left also if anyone else needs one.

There will be a fair amount of work when it comes to cutting the front. Mostly politics. Need a full procedure report

Nice work black duck 8) 8) 8)

People need not worry anymore about what engineering it will take to fit 22's under an EK,
It looks as though the skill level is right up there, with what will be required 8)

I'm looking forward to seeing this one come together.

Cheers

Wow,
That is a great piece of engineering in its self, but I must ask why you have not considered building a custom front end if you are capable of that sort of work ?
Im not sure what engineering requirements would be required but I have seen custom tubular front ends for sale somewhere as well.
Any way keep the good workmanship coming.

Great work, and well thought out. Where there's a problem, there's a solution and between you and your Dad I reckon you're pretty solutions focussed!

I cant help but notice a certain bigturd is most conspicuous by his absence on this thread of late... :mrgreen:

Anyway kiid, keep up the great work, its fine reading and appreciating all the pics. 8)
