Title: Show your rollcage?
Post by: -Alex- on May 20, 2011, 13:37:34 pm
I would like too see installed rollcages on a street/strip/track or race cars.


I had rollcage on my car, but bodyshop guy suggested that we make better. So we removed old one and i ordered some rollcage tube , so we can start bending tube and fitting new cage. My cage is primaly for added safety at street/strip/track use, no plans start to drive at any racing class :)

I had the rear of cage like this, but planning to make straight crossbar between rear tubes, where you can install belts.

I was wondering that is inner fender strongh enough for cage mount?

I just have the simple RLR 5-point roll bar kit, and the harness connects to the rear bar directly behind the driver's seat (2nd photo):

I would also recommend a RLR racing now avaliable at CSP . so you can be shure everything is right in case you have a track where a certificated cage is needed

I was wondering, would it be good idea to mount the rear of the cage to inner fenders like that red car and my previous cage?

Here is my former cage:

pics of mine, RLR again with the front extended to tie in the beam. Rear bars extend down to brace the frame horns.

Neil --- Man where you have those belts attached is really dangerous --- just think of the compression your back is gonna go thru if you're in an accident -- that cross bar really needs to be within 4" of the top of your shoulders -- if not at the top of your shoulders

Yeah, I think it just looks that way from the angle of the photo...my shoulders are just slightly above the seat top when I race.  Having said that, I'm looking for a race seat to replace the stock low-back...

i'm not gonna need a cage, but i'd like just one crossbar to fit a harnass to. or does that sound silly?

In the CSP advert, those are my three photos showing the beige-coloured bolt in platforms...
