What is the minimum amount of bar that would need to be added from the back towers to the transmission cross member? Understanding that I am running a bar from the back hoop of the cage to the shock tower.
Could I just run a bar from a plate on the rear side of the shock, midway to the top of the transmission cross member? Just a simple triangle. Would that help? Picture below. ![]() |

There's nothing like starting with a clean sheet of paper.
Are you doing the cage DIY or hiring it out? Making it SCCA legal would be wise either way....overkill for an AXer....but wise nohow. |

This job is way beyond my current metal working skills and it has to be safe - so hiring it out JP. Aaron at Pacific Custom Fabrications. It will be SCCA legal, so no issue with hill climbs. BTW the (door) cross bars and front suspension tie downs will end up looking a lot like The Beast. Only difference is that we will be going straight forward to the shock tower instead of off to the side... pretty much like you did. The front (dash) hoop will be above the steering wheel and the top cross bar coming from (6 inches below) the rear hoop forward will end up opposite the bar going forward to the front shock tower (through the hole). What I don't like is the final height of the rear hoop, which will be sticking way up there; but those are the rules. BTW Mr. K. (914 Magazine) is going to do a write up on the new cage for "222" as well as the installation of my old cage in his car. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
