I just picked up an AutoPower roll cage for my car from a fellow who never installed it. Just wondering if anyone here has used on of these before. It has the rear hoop w/cross bar, angled door bars, a section that runs around the top and front of the doors, and another bar tying them together across the top edge of the windshield.
It's supposed to be a bolt-in and has plates for the attachment to the chassis, but all the parts have these tubes to fit over each joint were the different parts come together. Do I need to weld these? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) Maybe I'm just having a major brain fart but I don't see how else it goes together.

I had an autopower cage in my 1st race car. Never 'tested' it, but I expect it would do the job.
Yes the short tubes are for the joints. That is how you are able to get it in place and adjust the fit. The hardest part was making sure there was room to operate the windows, doors, and targa top. Welding is better, but it will pass tech if you bolt it in place. |
