Racers,
Im putting an 8-point cage in my 914 and I have a few questions about roll cage gussets: - Are there rules about what the gussets should be made from? Must be DOM? Pipe ok? - Id like to triangulate my joints with smaller diameter 1" OD pipe than what the cage is made of. - Are there regulations on where the gussets can and cannot be located? Im thinking of adding to the halo area above the driver, and the connection point of the halo to the main hoop. Id hate to add a bunch of gussets only to have it flagged for removal by SCCA or another racing org. Something like these: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/image.fourwheeler.com-6222-1455665527.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/image.mustangandfords.com-6222-1455665527.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.miatacage.com-6222-1455665528.3.jpeg) |
