Today has been spent tidying and rearranging the garage so Ihave room to work and my bike is out of harm's way. also sorted my sound system kettle and lighting  got hold of two a frame steel trellises that I plan to extend the top tube so its wider and put a tube coming forward  like a u section onto the end of this I will weld a subframe tower mounting bolt either side to locate it securely so there's no chance of it moving and something similaire for the rear
