Hi Everyone

LJ80 project nearly finished but still need original roll bar, side door gates/bars and a set of SJ disc callipers (I have the discs, thanks to MrRocky). . Happy to pay someone to fabricate door bars.

I'd get a roll bar made if you can't do it yourself. Finding an original one in usable condition will be a heck of a challenge, they're pretty flimsy and probably wouldn't do much in a roll anyway. It wont cost much for a fabrication joint to do one, by all accounds XLR8 fab are good to deal with and turn out some very tidy work. They aren't far from you.

Door bars are reasonably priced new on eBay from Columbia.

For calipers if no one bites here I'd hit up facebook.

Thanks sideways. The Columbian door bars work out around $250, I'll need to save up!

I didn’t get a chance to look for the caliper. Will try and get onto it in the next day or so.
