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

Thanks everyone for your input and advise. Think I might end up going with a 6 point weld in roll cage. Hopefully I can find a fab guy close to home.

I'll keep looking at the Velocity news letter for that article.

BTW, I think I'll end up building the car to fit in in a PCA GT class and somehow fit it in with the POC. With my budget I know the car will not be very competitive, but I know it will be very fun to drive and learn how to make the car quicker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

There is a shop called Lucas Fab in OC that is probably worth a chat for cage building. You should definitely check out a POC short-track (now called PDS) event if you have not done that already -- the Streets of Willow track is a real blast. PCA around here has some parking lot autocross events but few if any real track events, depending on the local chapter you're in. LA and Santa Barbara are pretty much "wine an cheese" chapters whereas OC and SD are a bit more active in autocross and DE events.

Have fun!
