roll bar
Hi guys,
I was suposed to start on my engine mounting frame this weekend but for some reason the box section and plate i ordered didnt turn up on friday. So with nothing to do i started on the roll bar. It was a bit of a pain because my mates bending machine is four miles away so iv used what iv saved in petrol going back and forth. I want to build a full cage once the iva is sorted so i have opted for straight vertical bits so that the tubes going forward are to the side of my head rather than above. Only thing is i cant decide wether it looks pants or not.... Still to attach is bottom stay brackets and the tube with the seat belt mounting points, but ill sort that once iv read the iva bumf to make sure its in the correct position. whats your thoughts?.... (be honest  )

Prefer the ones Ash did and those seats look like you won't be driving it very far, flat bottomed and no side support equals a dead jacksie

Oh and the bends are no good for a race cage if you intend going anywhere near a track, they are wasted on the inside and the MSA/FIA don't accept that.

What size tube did you use?
Why are you going for the fullcage after IVA? It shouldn't cause you any problems doing it before. My rollbar didn't look right when it was just the hoop with vertical sides, but once you add the rest of the cage it starts to look ok.
