Ok, so I think I'm ready to install a roll cage in my 73 914 V8. I was thinking about going with an Autopower for an easy install since I lack welding skills. I have friends that could weld the feat in and I can do the rest. Anyone installed an Autopower in their car? And will my harness bar still fit? Any advice would be helpfull. Thanx, Paul.

Stiffness is gud, but there are compromises with livability for a street car.....entry & egress being the main problems.
At one point I had a 10 point cage (with halo) in my car. I was not impressed by the resulting stiffness. I was impressed by the shot the side bar put on my head....with bar padding & helmet on. I got rid of the halo and redid the cage for chassis stiffness.....shoulda done it years ago. Come on by & take a look. I'm sure the guys here are tired of my pics. |
