Is that Sonny Howard Preperations in Littleport?
If it is it is on Faraday road business park. Littleport, Cambs

Exactly the ones. Terrific reputation and a nice firm to deal with by all accounts. Does this mean the Evo is getting a revamp then Logan?

Thought it was. They are a very good company. I have known of them for twenty blur years since I was at school and they had the smaller unit across the way from where they are now. The unit they are in now used to be my dads carpet warehouse so when I used to work for him at weekends and school holidays I used to go and watch Sonny etc prepping up the stock cars etc. Still can't figure out how I got intrested in cars

Just thinking about Safety Stuart, and wondering whether they could do me a T45 bolt in cage rather than a heavier CDS one. Not saure what the weight difference would be??

I see from their site they do R&D for Safety Devices! All depends on cost!

To quote Safety Devices, "As a guide this equates to a weight saving of approximately 0.5 kg per metre of tubing or 10 - 15% of the total roll cage weight when compared to CDS. However this does come at a cost, as a roll cage manufactured in T45 is substantially more expensive to purchase than the same in CDS and therefore only really required by competitors competing at the higher end of the motor sport spectrum."

To give you an idea on price, Harry Hockly charge
