i have a prebent cage for my 95 civic and the main hoop is very wide at the base. the outside of the piping is right up against the sill and i wont be able to get around it with the welder. can i weld it to the floor(well the 1/8" 6x6 plate on the floor) then run the bead up the side of the bar where it meets the door sill and then back down the other side? i just dont want to go through the work if it will not pass inspection.

 

or can i bend the plate and weld half of it to the sill and the other half to the floor, then weld the cage to that?

 

Where in NY are you ? you should contact someone like Morgan at http://www.synapseturbo.com/

Or miller at http://www.nrgtechracing.com/

 

Why not sandwich plate the 6x6 w/one under the car and bolt the main hoop in and weld all the other mounting points, just my 1 cent as I am a broke ****
