You could over size the hole retap it a use a bigger nipple or try a helicoil. If not new calliper is your only other option as you cant add a seal washer

Right been slacking with the update....... Was at Lydden last weekend for the Apex festival. Once again the Lupo held its own against much bigger and powerful cars and was great fun. 1st couple of sessions went without a hitch the 3rd session had a slight hick up as i span coming out of the dog...

i have not really decided what to do long term....... the plan at the moment is stick with it until i have to do something about it.:lol:

:confused: paint what the cage? it has been painted black.... see pics with the harnesses mounted:)

:lol: i know that feeling. i drive so many different cars with my job i go for the clutch on an auto and 6th on 5 speeds etc etc etc. The worse one to do it on is the new UP! as reverse is where 6th is :headhurt:

it surprises a few people, especially on track :D :rolleyes: me go for 6th..... in a 5 speed.... never :redface:

Ok so attempt 2 of fitting the roll cage happened on Saturday and good news its in!!! Took some messing about to make it fit, but we got there in the end. After a coat of paint Also got board so made a camera mount out of and old tow-bar socket plate had kicking around. This is now...

Yep its only the 100bhp model! the GTi's just cost to much to tax/insure/repair/crash for a cheap track car hence went for the 100BHP model. Its a real git that only GTI had the ally panel's and people charge the earth for them. When i was last looking into it, i was almost better off buying a...

errr there really is not a lot left to come out of it weight wise. Inside there is only the upper skin of the dash, heater box, 2 seats with harness and soon to be the half cage. the only thing really left to do is split down wiring looms, polly carb the windows and then cut out excess metal...

its something i want and will be looking into after the cage is in. i really want some incar on even mount a camera outside in the bumper for some close apex footage:lol:

well the update stands as the cage did not fit due to a small bending error from custom cages. they have rectified the main hoop and it will be going in this Saturday instead! on the plus side had a good few sessions down at the BHP show at Lydden hill on Monday. The little lupo got a fair...

right small update..... was at Brands Hatch yesterday for a track evening. The Lupo did surprisingly well and was only lagging on straight line speed, which to be honest is expected. It once again surprised people at how nippy it was in the corners and if it wasn't for Brands strict overtaking...

That and also in theory the a frame is ment to be the strongest point in a roll over. so with the extra cage should in theory hold up better the standard. lets hope i dont find out lol its going to be over the next few weeks. need to pin down a friend of mine whos going to be welding it in...

no its just the half cage. After many in-depth long conversations with various roll cage builders they do not recommend full cages if you are using the vehicle on the road. this is due to you not wearing a helmet while driving on the road and if you have a low speed accident the risk of...

hmmm more then gaffer tape required i think......

Well yes and no...... the blue one got sold and replaced with a black which i havw never got round to making a thread for....
