Re: WIP: 2CV “Rock and Roll-Bar”
I did not see there were 3 pages ! I am amazed even more ! You scratch-builded a complete bench ! My compliments ! Yet, it is not built correct. Sorry about me being very critical. If you like, I can make pics of an original bench frame for you in ca. one week. Also the headlights are to high on their supports. Should be (much) lower. And the 'radiator' (it isn't actually a radiator, more of a plate-steel box to guide air trough as the 602 cc 29hp boxer engine has air-cooling) is too square.
Sorry if I'm a nitpick (or whatever you call those nagging persons), but I can provide pics of any 'flaw' in approx 1 week. Yet: I prefer to see a 2cv with 'wrong' details than no 2cv at all ! You are very skillfull, my compliments ! I am amazed to see those awesome teeny-tiny wire meshes you made for the headlights. They look perfect, and also in an (in my opinion) impossible scale !    Also, don't worry about rust or bad paint jobs. All 2cv's look like that, except mine wich is one big lump of painted plaster on wheels

I absolutely do not think you are nitpicking at all! It's obvious that you really know your subject and I think I'm lucky that you are offering help. Big thanks. I would be very interested, to see some real bench seat shots although I can't promise you that I will hve the nerve to start afresh  The ref I used was a very nice '60s advert photo I found on the web. To be honest, I may have been paying more attention to the blonde's legs than the bench seat.  )Also thanks again for the engine references you sent. French, 2 cylinder boxer engine wiring is way out of my frame of reference! Although Fiat 126s do have a little in common )

I've taken some pics of the bench. Unfortunattely, the batteries of my cam are empty now so I can't transfer them to our PC. But I did do a little measuring: The width of the frame is 1065mm and the outside diameter of the tubing is 22mm. I will post them for you when my camera is alive again. I don't know who said it's strange that the rollbar is outside the bodywork of the car, but it makes perfect sense to me: if the car rolls over, the bodywork doesn't get damaged. Only a few scratches on the rollbar. And that's much cheaper to repair The thing I find strange is that there is a rollbar. A 2cv is impossible to tip over. No matter how fast you go trough a corner or bend. I do know a thing or 2 about 2cv's and I also know some stories about it (including a 2cv getting hit by a big truck without the 3 passengers (dad and young 2 kids) getting hurt) , but I only heard twice in my life about a 2cv tipping over. Unless it was hit by another car.Klutz_100, if you want to know more or want pics of details: let me know. Do not hesitate to PM because I have a bad memory.
