Andy Robinson of http://robinson-race-cars.co.uk quoted me to do mine. (He is a Monaro owner as well)

Any decent fabricator should be able to do it, or the usual drag guys.

Sleath, Hauser, Andy Robinson, Webster etc etc although no doubt there are countless more.

Roughly speaking, what did he want?

OP do you mean a mini tub to get larger road wheels in or a full tub for drag slicks?

Monkfish only ever did a mini tub and I wouldn't want more than that for road use.

Yeah I would only want a mini tub for getting larger road wheels under the car.

Here are some pics of when mine was done by Monkfish:









Allows the fitting of 285 tyres on the rears.

Rather than post it here I have PM’d you the figure, as my shell is already stripped out, so the price was too literally provided the cutting and welding part of the job.
Currently still deciding whether to go in board with the tub or outwards with some arches. Presently leaning towards the outward option but can’t find any arches that might fit decently and look good.

And not forgetting what wheels may actually be available, and what widths/offsets etc.

Dont know why MF stopped doing that as it looks like a pretty good job.

A bit like the undersealing they used to offer - lot of hassle and mess and takes up ramp space. More money to be made in routine servicing I guess. Just glad I had mine done when I did as Roger did a really good job and whilst the rear subframe was out I got him to under seal it too.
