Are you making a bolt in rollbar or is it going to be welded in?

SHG_Mike

Bolt in. I was just unhappy with all the current offerings that are out there so I am building one the way I think it should be done. However don't look at those M6's and think thats what I plan on using haha. M12 hardware is in the mail.

The pro race 1.3 do have the team dynamics lettering on the face of the wheel. I know you posted the pic last page that shows otherwise. However, the 1.3 set I have does include the engraved lettering.

It seems the "first gen" has the lettering like you say and that they went to the "second gen" like pictured. Very little information on the matter.

One more quick update until I can get a chance to upload better pics...

Looks awesome and functional!

So this weekend was full of forward progress

I got my hardware back from plating...


Its amazing how fresh and brand new everything looks.


Setup the tubing notcher


Made a few sample test cuts...


Changed the design of the main hoop base plates slightly cutting off the bent portion just keeping it simple and straight.





As seen before I made a cardboard template for the exterior limits for the main hoop of the cage.


I took that template to my office/shop where luckily they allow me to use the tubing bender off the clock. EasyE was kind enough to lend his knowledge and abilities as a motorsports fabricator to bend the tube to size...


I also made a harness bar that ended up not working out...


Main hoop tacked into place...




Down tubes placed.


To find all the angles required I used tape to mock up the length and position of each bar.


One side done...


X finished and main hoop diagonal placed.


What I have done so far.








I hope to wrap everything up this weekend and prep it for paint.

What colour? Or just a respray?

SHG_Mike

You will see. It will be just the cage which is part of the reason it is bolted in. The tunnel and small parts of the interior will be touched up with SSM.
