Had a full cage on my last car done by Tony at TC Design , with my new car, I just want a roll bar as outlined in the red...however, I'd like to have a removable petty bar(to be installed at the auto-x course or track)
what I am trying to figure out is whether or not it's acceptable to drill thru holes and weld in strenghtening tubes into the rollbar for the hardware to pass thru. Attached image(s)

I could, I want to avoid the "normal" type of bracket which protrudes into the cabin. Ideally you want the axis of the petty bar to line up with the centerline of the mating tube. I'm betting that just about any design (as long as it's safe and strong) will be sufficient and better than not having anything at all....I was just fishing to see if anyone had done something "different" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |
