Modify Brunton Stalker Roll Cage

[Bonjo2]

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

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:

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.

Kevin, FWIW, here is a photo of my old chassis (post-accident strip). It may foster an idea or two.
