I had a go at making my own headers. Took some time and plenty of grinding unfortunately but I got there in the end. A little bit of welding practice goes a long way!
I visited a local exhaust specialist Chris Tullett Exhausts Ltd. for all the tubing and they also cut me some flanges to suit. They were very helpful indeed.

Roll Bars
I decided here to go against my original AK build manual and fit roll bars further apart. I wanted to see them more in line with the centre of the seats.
Before cutting into anything I checked there was plenty of space between the back of the wheel arch and the tyre.

This meant I couldn't use the original pre-drilled mounting points so I had to make up a new bracket.

Dashboard Mods...
As I had one of AK's early dashboards, it needed a rolled edge adding to keep my IVA man happy.
I carefully cut a length of hose and stuck it in place. Then filled in and around with some P40. Keeping in mind that it would all be covered up should I make a poor job of it!
