UK Wraith Cage mod.
 
After help from you guys I managed to do the mod and for free! Found a use for the original Wraith links. :) I will eventually make a lid to cover the battery (Which is now much easier to access) and add some scale items.

Edit: Updated....Looking much better. :)

Mine are just two Vanquish Upper Links. Have to loosen the rods ends a little to get them to fit but then a couple of smaller black zip ties fill/hide the gaps. :)

Are mine big? Or Zippo? All fit on the sly-pad... :-)

If you do the one as Zippoman has you need to move the battery location...

I don't think you have to move the battery with my mod....I just moved it because I wanted it up front. :) Yes pics are great no matter how large!! We have ability to scroll sideways...hehehe "thumbsup"

Yes, pics are the Shiz ....and they looked normal on my I-Pad o0wiz0o...you were right. I had to scroll for about 6 feet on my laptop :shock:

Doh! Sorry folks. The only PC I use is at work and firefox resizes them to fit the screen too! I'll try and make em smaller later...and in future. :)

Re: UK Wraith Cage mod.
 
When I first did mine I did the mod with the rig all built and made drilling the down bars really tough. Was never really happy with how it came out so when I came accross a pair of new tube frame sides I decided to mod another pair then swap out my originals. I think it came out pretty good and used no heat shrink to hide the joints.
