I am looking for ways to strengthen the structure of the car while having it remain very easy to get into and out of - no full or partial roll cage as you typically see them. So what about...
1) a roll bar that fits in underneath the "basket handle" and goes down through the back firewall at an angle and ties into the longitudinals in the lower corners of the hell hole 2) a second hoop that goes from long to long under the dash to strengthen that area and better support the cowl 3) Engman reinforcements for the longs 4) additional formed pieces at the base of the windshield frame 5) maybe some triangulation of the rear shock mount area as well as camber boxes for the front to support the coil-over suspension front and rear Has anyone ever done a roll bar that tucks in under the basket handle? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I got the term from the orginal post on this thread "basket handle", I guess if it is refered to as a "basket handle" it would need a roll bar to protect the basket's contents.. |
