A roll cage is just a pain in the ass to get in and out of the car with the roof on or off. I have a quick release steering wheel and it's STILL a pain in the ass. I can remove the cross bars in the doors and it's even STILL a pain in the ass to get in and out of. I just kills me when someone Andy's age talks about "old bones".

Now I am getting depressed.
On a good day I am 5'9" and with my purchase of Jonathan's/Thomases Dark Knight, I need to throw something in that avoids the OLD BONES issues that Elliot speaks of. Any suggestions based on this pic? And Ed, I am NOT trying to steal your thread. I think we both are in the same boat, and I hate cold water far from shore. Thanks!

My roll cage was patterned from the Safety Devices bolt in roll cage. It used the plate on the firewall like in the first pics. Decided not to use the SD cage and used it for a pattern instead. Decided not to use the plate and welded a bar to the firewall and attached to it as you can see in the pic. I sold the bolt in cage when it's use for a pattern was done.....

Hey Ed!
Since I am looking at one like you, Greg Brinton in Stanton is doing mine. He is a famous VW dragger working on Porsches now. He is a rollbar dude! And helping with the PCA code is Cooper Boggs, the AX and DE safety director for PCA OCR. Tomorrow night we decide on the shape and seats and belts, so I will tell you. Greg will probably do a drawing right on the pictures. And of course, you can talk to him about pricing. He is my main heavy bodywork guy, Cooper is the detailer and components guy I use. I have all kinds of things they have done. And NO, I am not going to go for the full cage version. I am not expecting to trade paint at any time. Mostly AX's and we all know that 914's are damn hard to flip. Unless you roll up over a tail dragger that has money but can't really drive his 2010 GT3 anywhere close to correctly. I see them typically fly through a turn backwards with cones stuck under them each month! One actually went through the finish light traps backwards and forgot to put both feet in. CRUNCHYCRUNCH WENT THE TRANNY! So it goes! John |

Sorry to high jack the thread but could anyone speak to the SCCA rules on the design of jt914-6 hoop X above? I was wondering if anyone would see a design or sanctioning body issue with a design like this? I am in the end of finishing my new cage and want to do and X in the rear hoop similar to this and really like this design... any thoughts...
Thanks.... |
