Just an idea,
If everyone brought along with them a bit of there tool kit.
I wouldn't expect everyone to bring a full tool kit.

I will bring a 1/2" socket set

Some one else could bring 1/4" socket set

and so on
That way no one will have to cart around heavy tool boxes.

The thought was that if anyone has a problem the tools to sort it will be available for most circumstances.

Even as we will be split into groups, plenty will have Cb's to call for help.

And on the Friday or Saturday evening, weather permitting we could have a tinker with the cars, should anyone's need looking at.

I am using the mounting plates off the side steps, I have a 20 odd foot length of 2" box section steel. I am hoping to use the outside curved edge off the sidesteps as well :) Hopefully they should end up looking something like these trooper ones :wink:



I reckon you could make them fairly cheaply using box section and 4mm steel plates to bolt to the chassis.
