When a roll cage bar/chassis tube goes through a firewall, what do you do? Do you cut the hole close and then weld around it, use seam sealer, just live with a small gap? I am trying to decide what to do with bars connecting the cage to the front and rear suspension points. Thanks, John |

Although I have never installed on, nor been apart of an installation, I would think the priority would be to seal the hole. After all, it is a "FIREWALL" aint it? Smoke, fire, fumes all have to be isolated from the passenger compartment by law and by good sense.
