As far as I know, the brackets arent being fabricated anymore, as well as the FG doors(MB). In this case, I suggest just fabbing up your own or using OEM brackets and adapting it to the FG doors.

Have I done it? No, but that's how I will be doing it lol

Other guys on here have though and say its mint </TD></TR></TABLE>

I believe 10 point down to 8.50 then Funny car cage, the plates are 6x6x 1/8th inch thick. Contact the NHRA tech dept at NHRA.com and they can give you the local chassis inspector contact info. You may want to talk to him/her during your build to make sure it is correct. Rule books should be coming very shortly. If you use chromoly it is 1 5/8 inch x .083 wall thickness and mild steel is 1 5/8 x .118. Hopefully this helps get you going in the right direction.
