is there a site online to order a bunch of 90* bends and straight piping for a cage?

i have a guy to weld, he told me i had to get the piping

oh and excuse my ignorance, i dont know anything about this stuff.

 

safedrives.com
hes a vendor here so you can look up his products in the vendors section or just check out his site

 

does he sell pre made cages, or the actual piping. i just need piping, my guy is gonna fab it up, i want something diffrent

 

depending on what you need it might just be easier to buy a bender and buy the pipe locally

 

You don't want a cage built from 90s and straights! Depending on what you're doing look at different sanctioning bodies rules for help with designing a cage. Is this for drag racing, road racing, or just to get "the look"?

im building it to get into autox im gonna look at some cages, to get some ideas before i start building, just trying to get prices.

 

Are you going to do a full cage, or just a roll bar?

Either way, the main hoop will have to be made from one piece of tubing from the floor on the left to the floor on the right. Something like this:



I would look into some pre-made kits to see what's available if you don't have the tools to bend tubing like that. Like SleepinEP3 said, look at whats available at http://www.safedrives.com

When it comes to safety items it's just not worth it to 1/2 *** it. It could end up worse than not having anything at all.

Also look at http://www.ioportracing.com for bolt-in autopower and http://www.kirkracing.com

You can also do some searching around on the road race/Autocross forums for what others are running.

oh yes i agree about the safty aspect. i need to check on the mandrel bender. i THINK he might have one, but im not positive.

i wonder if i could order a main hoop, and do the rest?

also make sure you use the right tubing. most sanctioning bodies are requiring DOM tubing to be used now rather than ERW

 

check out sw race cars in PA, my bro and I both got our cages from them, pre-made, and super nice quality. Check them out at,

real manderel bending machines take up a lot of room. not sure if your 'guy' has one.

 

Cages dont have to be manrel bent and you dont need a cage for autocross, its just extra weight.
