I'm not a fan of those bolt in ends and i'm not sure if they're even legal for some sanctioning bodies.

http://chassisengineering.com/ sells a lot of roll cage stuff.

Those dont look too bad... not so sure about the cusco ones though. Dont seem like they would be able to handle a roll over very well. Your life is in the hands of some china hardware

The bolt on ones are much stronger than the quick release type. Just looking at the bolt on style, it would take a huge amount of force to break them. The bolt simply has to hold the clamps together, while the bulk of the force would be transfered through the thick steel of the joint.

The half-tube swing outs are flimsy as hell. It would take much less force to compromise this style of joint compared to just a straight peice of pipe.

 

I don't think I can say I like those. Single Shear bolts and transfer = ehhhh.

Of course, the Pinned Swingout Door Bar link from Chassis Engineering = Issue Light Extravaganza.

 

are they legal for any racing?

Don't quote me, because I might be wrong - I would say they would be legal for any non-required members (Duh), but for required members, most rule books I've seen would require a clevis that puts the bolt in double shear. (Note as well - most rules would require a Grade 5 or better/equivilant bolt to be used and marked, the socket head cap screws used on the above joint are not marked for rating)

yeah the cusco cages are pretty much show cages. the ******* main hoop bolts at the top, you know, on the exact spot your car will roll over on.

the cusco cages are not scca legal last i heard. but that doesnt stop a lot of s2000 ricers from buying them.
