Default Welp...The Z got its roll cage finished

Well here we go, my Z finally got its 6 pt roll cage installed for the 2015 season. I am going to be running SPEC-Z for NASA mid-a once I get my comp license. The cage turned out really good, i'm pretty stoked. Its got new Sparco seats and 6 point harnesses. Had a few hiccups, but who doesn't?

Well any way, here are the pictures. Let me know if you guys have any questions!

I just got it back late last night, When I get more pictures I will update further. If you want to see anything specific let me know!










These are the Eye hooks used to mount the harnesses. I love these clip on Sparco 6pt's...amazing.



Here are the two for the sub straps




Rear Mounting plate

I would cut the single bar that goes across the rear down tubes. Then run the single diagonal or turn it into an X back there.

Why is that? Do you think it would be stronger with the X?

An X would triangulate the area , much stiffer.

Nice work. What was your rationale behind where the rear downtubes meet the chassis?

Just curious because that area is where I have seen the most variance in cage construction.
