NoahDL88 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm looking into putting a hoop behind the drivers seat, with a set of bars going back to the rear, with a cross bar just in front of the rear hatch, (this will be on a Hatchback) I'm not looking for SCCA legality, I'm just looking to have at least the spec tubing that they require, as i figure that will be a minimum that i'll want to go with, i want it to be functional, but passing tech isn't a requirement. I'm really just looking at a way to mount 4 pt harnesess, i've seen way too many mickeymouse operations when it comes to safety restraints, and i don't want to get cut in half in an accident. Notes by Cliff Whats the spec tubeing for SCCA roll cages, and does anyone know of a tubeing bender in Marysville/Arlington? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLCraig Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Download the Rally America rule book and read through the section on roll cages. This should give you some good Ideas on what you can do with your hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperRallyRoo Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 SCREW safedrives.... I bought my cage from them and it was nothing but a shenanigan. I actually had a good experience with All wheels driven. They managed to fix and make the cage I bought from Charles Buren work. I would never do business with Safe drives again. And they also like to lie about certian things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other person had already put a deposit on the car. Your offer was contingent upon the other falling through, which at the time we spoke, looked like it was going to..I wasn't trying to play any games, there was a lot of shuffling around with the original buyer that screwed things up. Additionally, after all of that BS, he listed the car on Craigslist and sold it the next day for $200 more than he paid for it.. Very sorry for the inconvenience and any trouble that it caused you. That was a painful deal on many levels it seems.. As far as the tubing goes, 1.75"x.095 wall DOM is what you should build your cage out of if you're planning on rallying it at some point. As far as cage builders in your area, Dave Clark (near Seattle)is one of the best up there. His # is 425-221-2470. Great guy, great cage builder, highly recommend him.
