Hey everyone,
Last night we started on some roll-cage design work for one of our customers, as of now we have just been taking measurements and drawing it on the computer in preperation for when we get the materials to start fabricating.
This will end up being an 8 point cage based off the FIA regulations, with the difference that this will be made out of DOM tubing not cold-drawn steel for cost reasons, yet the FIA design will provide excellent safety, and added chassis rigidity. We would like to build this cage to satisfy the rules for as many North American sanctioning bodies as possible, to be sure it can be raced anywhere.
Here Is the 3/4 view

This is just the rough design for now, although the overall dimensions of the cage are complete, door and roof bar configurations may change. There is also a few features yet to be drawn, generally these require acurate measurements with the rest of the cage in the car, In addition to the harness bar, rear stays and a front brace to the firewall, there will be quite a bit of gusseting to be added but isn't part of the computer design phase.
We will keep you posted on this project as it advances, hopefully the next update will involve us tearing into a big stack of pipe. :)
'Till then,
May the "Win" be with you!
