Another roll cage ? Options

[RSrocket]

Hello everyone,

Been lurking for a while now and finally decide to join the forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I recently "acquired" a 914 track car that I'm currently rebuilding. I don't have the $ for a custom cage so I'm in the market for a weld in. I've been searching and have no luck in finding what I need. Does anyone sell a weld in roll cage that has side hoops that hug the A pillar and come down in "front" of the dash? I'm not a big fan of a bar that ties in the left and right side hoops that sits under the dash board. I would rather that bar sit closer to the front fire wall and above the steering column. That way I can install the dash over that bar.

Sorry for the long post.

Thanks,
Ron

you should pick the place you want to play first
go visit those guys
if there are other 914's there ... look them over
buy those guys a beer....

find out who the eligibility person is...
buy that guy a beer too

then (I prefer in writting since you can print and save emails) ask before you do.... Ask that eligibility guy how many points the roll cage is allowed to touch the chassis for his club.

really building a track car to use and not abuse the rules is just as important as any of the other fabrication components.

I'm the porsche eligibility chief for my race club.
I hate the look on a guys face when I tell him he has to "undo" something he has already done. Usually the applicant gets pissy and mad about it.... Seriously, ask questions first. If an applicant screws up he only has himself to blame.

How about seam welding the entire car, is that allowed?
