What I've Been Doing

Been welding some shit up, can you guess what it is yet?

Fishing rod holder?
Roll bar?
Bull bar?
Snorkel?
Side step?
Or best of all - all of the above?

They look pretty heavy duty!

Maybe santa will bring you one of these so you can make a bullbar next:-

Trying to lower the centre of gravity to cope with the Scottish wind - or will they end up as flame-throwers?

Looks like this is being done at someones work

Not that heavy duty, pretty thin walled pipe, form over function etc
Flame thrower? Nah, cant see the sootyvan making it to SA.
Nah, was done at the local college. Night classes are good fun

You found a welding and fabrication course? I should get myself on one of those.

Bolt me up

They actually look just right, almost like original fitment. Are they purely ornamental or do they have a function?

Yes, they have a function, they're purely ornamental

Looking pimp in black - maybe an external roll cage next, what d'y'say

Maybe be doing some pipe bending, quite fancy a wee bullbar for the front. Something small, could do with a lashing point for the canoe.

they look awesome! do they just bolt straight on?

Yes, 4 holes drilled in the sills, not weight bearing mind, just for show( anybody who needs a step to get into a Hijet needs to reconsider walking )

I had those underneath my first Hijet, a 993cc. They fitted like a glove. No drilling necessary. This summer I will mount them om my Hijet 1.3. Only have to make a minor adjustment.
