If Datto can locate and measure his I don�t mind making them

Did you get the measurements from Datto?

I bought a set of these a few years back and they are stll in the shed. They might be flying to Adelaide this year sometme to become part of a mate's hatch though but I can measure them up.

Hey guys,
Glad someone is making these (hopefully). Can you please put me on the list for a pair (real soon) with postage to Adelaide. Keep up the good work. Cheers,
Marty

Then he can make me a spare set and send them back

Print the pictures and take them to any sheet metal / fabrication workshop they will be able to make some up for you.

Correct me if i am wrong which is more than likely but are the c pillar inners not entirely straight?I thought they have a slight inwards curve as they sweep up towards the roof? I was thinking of making mine in 2-3 pieces (as in long ways up the folds) so i could bend them slightly then weld them together from behind before fitting them?this is also due to the fact i dont have access to a fandangle small folder. Any opinions or advise would b great. Thanks guys

They do curve slightly, you should be able to use one piece ones though. I did it. You just need to gradually tack weld them as you work from bottom to top. A couple of good c-clamps helps.
