What are you using to make the bends? From the looks of them they may not pass an NHRA tech inspection so you might want to get that checked out before you do work for othr people. But other than that looks great. Was it your first cage? I just did my first one also, quite a bit more work than it looks.

Kind of looks like it was bent by a rotary-draw machine. Bends which are superior to mandrel bends as far as being structurally stronger. Mandrel bends are only for something flowing through the tube, mandrel bends reduce the outer part of the bend's thickness. A proper bend will have the same thickness throughout the whole bend while only reducing the OD enough to keep the wall thickness intact (read: smaller OD but not kinked) and the bends in the picture look fine.

Anyone who says a cage should be mandrel bent is a moron. People who write rulebooks are drivers, not builders, and when they say mandrel bent they just mean not kinked.

you need to become a sponsor if you wish to make and sell things.

 

looks good... is it supposed to pass chassis certification?

 

OH I know what that is (I didnt read any post)

It's a SUPRA, now give me a cookie!

 

How far away are you from las vegas and how much do you want for that dc2 teg cage?

 

i would do ALOT of things differently. You made alot of compromises, and the fit doesn't look that good, eg. A pilliar bar.

You would be supprised how good a cage looks if you take the dash, cut it and run the A pillar bar all the way down the A pillar and threw the dash.
