Looking good, i have a feeling your door bars are coming out next, one you get your seats installed. . Harness bar can go straight across , or bent back slightly ( look at autopower or kirk) but wait till you get your race seats, the bard need to be ligned up properly.

 

My phone died. Take better pics tommarow but its done for now. X bar will have to wait a few weeks

 

Blair and I painted the cage today with super se ret paint

 

if he spent time boxing the bottom of the cage. why didn't he make the main hoop and the roof bars all the way up to the roof? you're gonna have to pad the crap out of the roof bars. too low imho.

 

Yeah. Its kinda been a trial and error thing. Its not that bad. I have pads everywhere. Might be redoing some parts of the cage again. I think he didnt want to put to mant bends un the halo bar. Its one solid peice all the way around.

 

How does it feel to sit with the cage in front of the dash like that? Plenty of leg room etc?

 

It's actually really nice. I trimmed the door panels so that when I shut the door the cage is hidden. I have form where my elbow would hit. It's right above the arm rest so that's nice. The bar near my head is close but only because I put foam on it. The front halo bar is not hindering my vision and the apillar bar is tight enough to the car that I barley notice it. My seat goes all the way back and can recline enough to have proper position. It sucks getting in and out though

 

So the seat fits lol. A little high but it clears.

 

you have to try it with the seat AND your helmet and check clearance to the top of the helmet and the main loop bar. i hope you're short.

 

It's even with the bar. I might be taking the halo out and redoing that this weekend. Fun fun fun

 

Weld in the extra X bar in the door area while your at it

 

Yah...might as well. I really don't need one yet as far as our local rules go but might as well get it over with.

 

I really like the double slider mount I got but its,sits really high..might have the mount altered as well.

 

Do you if you can have bends in the halo bar? I know it has to be one continuous peice

 

You might be fine if you use lower seat mounts/rails. I have my roll bar right underneath the roof bar as well... i have plenty of room with a helmet to clear the rollbar but i learned that it cut my rear view mirror vision a lot..

 

please, for your safety, pick up a standardized rule book. i.e. SCCA/ NASA guidelines. and follow the instructions for roll cage points.

for showroom stock and touring, the halo can follow the roof line. and is recommended to be as close as possible to it.

 

finally added in the x bars. trimmed and deleted panels and relocated window switches. kinda ghetto but a work in progress.

 

Yikes^

 

Lol what

 

Are those pool noodles?
