Roll Cage - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #68641 3 posts Started by qatar11
So for the Lemons Race Car we need a roll cage... a rather elaborate one.

3.1: Rollbar and Structure: Professionally made full roll cage required. A poorly built, improperly mounted, or badly engineered rollcage can keep you from racing: Don't show up with crap! At minimum, cage must include: Full front and rear hoop, appropriately braced to each other along the roofline; two drivers-side door bars (X-design is acceptable); appropriate main-hoop backstays with no bends, located as close to 45 degrees from horizontal as practical; one main-hoop diagonal; appropriate spreader plates and gussets; complete 360-degree welds at all joints. Each major load-bearing member must be formed from its own single, continuous tube. Shoulder-harness bars strongly encouraged, and virtually necessary for proper shoulder-harness mounting in some applications; dash bars very strongly encouraged.

So - if anyone else wants a roll cage - we can take better notes and possibly put together some kind of kit for those interested... anyway hit me up sooner than later this will prolly start by the weeks end.

I'm looking forward to seeing your cage developed and how you do fabricate it. Especially since the LEMONS is a favorite race of mine. Seeing a celica built up for it should be excellent

although making a "kit" for resale isn't a good idea as cages should be made per each car and individually.

I have been doing alot of research into Roll Cage designs and would be very interested in to how yours is going to look. A detailed progress thread would be very much appreciated.
