Mine is NHRA certified and the to back bars are welded to a bar that links the strut towers together. So I would say his way is legal to.

 

same here , im legal, my struts are linked, bars from halo connect to strut linking bar your good to go

 

thats where mine sit as well. If you do a little research, theres liek a triplle layer of metal in that particular spot.

 

I thought all the plates had to be 6"x6". The plates that the rear bars are anchored to don't look that size to me.

 

How fast do you plan on going? this a sportfwd car?

that's what I was gonna say

 

looks good... can i see a pic of how it comes around in the dash area?

 

Lovely, I wish my car wasn't a daily driver...

 

i have the same cage i need to install. what kind of welder did you use for your cage?

 

i would use a tig, it might even help get the whole way around the bar better. But a mig works well too

 

nice stuff

 

6"x6" on the 4-points in the driver compartment. the rule book isnt clear on if all plates have to be that size. most techs dont pay atttetion to the rule book. if u look carefully on most import race cars, there still missing 1 bar on each side of the car. they from the lower portion of the main hoop to the lower portion of the forward supports. the rule book marks it as an "A" tube. "A" tube = 1 5/8" x .120 MS and 1 5/8" x .083 CM. its the bar thats below the sidebar.

Does a moly cage have to be TIG welded in? what about the plates?

 

it says right in the NHRA rulebook that a chromoly cage has to be tig welded.

 

Right, plates can me mig welded to the floor, but chromoly tubes have to be tig welded.

 

nice! where did you get it done?
i wouldnt mind having a cage

pretty sure that extra tube you are talking about is for cages down to 7.50

 

which type of metals are legal in most sactioning bodies?
size/type, and are there different types for different parts of the cage, or is it all the same kind of metal?

 

My civic has a Kens 10pt moly that is tig welded together. Then tig'd to 6x6 floor plates and the plates are mig'd to the floor. I hope this is legal.

 

1.mig welding plates to floor is legal with chromolly tubing, so long as chromolly tubing is tig welded to plates.

2. in the rule book it says when<U>bolting</U> plates to floor they must be 6x6

3. when it says welding to rocker must weld main hoop to
rocker sill area with .125-inch reinforcing plates, with plates welded
completely. <U>does not say that they need to be 6x6</U> although most people do it just to be on the safe side....as it all depends on the inspector....

hope this sheds some light

 

tubing type and sizes?

 

chromolly or mild steel.....
rollbar is 1 3/4x .058 chromollhy
roll cage is 1 5/8x .058 chromolly
read the rules on nhras site.....
