As promised, here are the technical spec's for my roll cage;
  • 1.75" tube diameter
  • 0.095" tube wall thickness
  • 4130 alloy chromolly steel
  • Tig welded joints with 70S rod (specialty for 4130 welding)
  • 6-point style cage
  • Sheet metal gussets in critical areas
  • Custom driver's side door bars increase strength compared to standard NASCAR style
  • Large area base plates mig welded to structural areas of the chassis
  • "A" pillar vertical tubes (aka FIA bar)
  • Windshield frame bar, door bars, and main hoop are all stich welded to the chassis for increased rigidity
  • "Knee bar" and steering column mounts to replace factory dash bar

Tom--

Who built your cage?

I'm getting mine built by Josh Lucas at Lucas Fabrication in Huntington Beach.

I like the features you've put into your cage. If you also used Josh, then I could just tell him, "Do it just like Tom's cage".

Thanks,

Greg

Yes, it was built by Josh. One of the best.
