Bonjo2 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I need: Side impact protection 1.5” at .09+ Top tie bar Side nets for driver Front cross bar (dash) Ties from front to chassis floor Anyone have any design recommendations that won’t make car too difficult to get into, and not look like Mad Max? This, or “factory hard to and windows rolled up”. Hehe funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcarguy Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Well, I was going to suggest something along the lines of my previous Stalker cage design until you threw in the Mad Max thing.:jester: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjo2 Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 Haha. Yours more like the United colors of Benetton. I really don’t want to take the car apart again.... But, will to make it safer. I also want to make up some new front a-arms and a different spindle and steering arm—wanting more adjustment, more angle, and less flex. So far I’m thinking two bars from center main hoop curving out to the top of the a pillars, leaving enough room to get in and out, the straight bar to floors 4 point corner front outside of seat by knees, a straight tube across at top of scuttle height with threaded insert for center net, then a simple side bar like yours. What also concerns me are rules requiring roll cage to mount to frame rail or floor, using 3/16” plate, where our roll hoop mounts aren’t that robust and nowhere near the floor.

xcarguy Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Kevin, FWIW, here is a photo of my old chassis (post-accident strip). It may foster an idea or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
