Step 6 - Here I created the fixings to attach the side rail to the hoops. Taking a long pieces of 1" x 0.25" steel I cut out ten 12" strips. You'll need a vice to shape them. First create an incomplete U bend in the middle by centering the 12" lenght over suitable sized tubing, then knock the two ends to create the final shape. Four 6.0mm holes were drilled into each strip to fix it to the side rail (coach screws will be used) and a 5.5mm hole was drilled in the centre for fixing on to the hoop with 5.5 mm x 25 mm tapping screws. Six fixings were made for the 3 internal hoops.
