Thanks Peter.

Michael, my plan is to use the factory front bar as the basis for the new improved model. The top half will remain stock. From the top of the radiator opening (basically where the Vertex one above has torn away) down will be completely new. I though starting with a clean piece of foam would be simpler than using polyurethane foam from a can or liquid would be a simpler, less messy option. The guy I spoke to was very helpful and even said we might be able to work something out with a sponsorship deal. I probably will not pursue the 'deal' but may take him up on the offer of utilising some offcuts. A couple of small blocks (300x100x200mm etc)would go a long way to getting the uprights either side of the radiator and infront of the wheel arch formed and equal either side.

I did not like the fitment of the Vertex (copy) around the headlights and guards bar any way, so starting with the original bar suits me as the fitment is, well, perfect.
