That is what I was thinking up by the feet. Gussets are invaluable also, strengthen a cage by an amazing amount.

Only one tube can connect directly to the firewall, but you could still run a triangulated brace that connects to that tube right at the firewall. That would give you much better foot protection and...
It is my understanding that if you prefer you could remove the dash, slide the cage forward, then fit the dash back over it, is that correct?
And I second both the previous suggestions, the door...
In your case it is mostly arrogance.
The funny thing is in this world of ours is that image is half the battle...
Maybe this is the battle you should be fighting, trying to get people to focus on facts instead of fancy.

Those giraffes don't look stock to me, you will probably have to run a production class.
I would have been interested, but it is a little late to make plans now. Might try to ask earlier next time.
I would go with Number 2, you may uncover other problems as you disassemble this car. Go Number 3 only if you are absolutely certain the car is sound, otherwise you are right back where you started.
It happened to Cristiano da Matta in an Indy Car a couple years ago, only it was a deer. He was able to make a full recovery, let's pray Col. Valine is also.
When you talk about redrilling these, you are planning on welding up the original holes, right?
Because otherwise I think this is a really bad idea.
If you must leave all the equipment there, why would you not just put a little washer fluid in it and keep it operational for those times the car in front of you oils down your windshield?
Okay, I took a closer look at our F Prod car today and Greg is right, I was ignorant. The welds I remembered were on an adapter, not the shaft.
And arguing that a weld is strong than a bolt is...can I call it "ignorant" in the true sense of the word without unintended insult?
Absolutely. Not willing to concede the point without further...
I don't know if it is legal or not, haven't studied it yet as I will probably go with the stock wheel at first, I was just answering the question "why weld?"
A good weld is stronger than bolts,...
Fire is more likely in the pits, but help is much closer which is what a fire suit is for: to provide protection until the fire can be extinguished. It seems to me a single layer suit would be...
True, but the fueler also has a guy standing right there with a fire bottle aimed at him, what happens if he splash gasoline on his driver's suit and still have a turn left at the wheel? Does he...
After a very quick perusal it appears to be a cool site, by the way. I will be giving it a good look this weekend.
These days, why does anyone use weld-on QRs anyway?
Safer and cheaper.
Will an old, single layer suit suffice? Personally I wouldn't want to be handling gasoline in my driver's suit.
Found it, sorry. If I cut and paste the first link with www it takes me to the goracing collectible site, the second link without the www works. I don't really understands the intranets, really.
Apologies if this has already been covered, I couldn't find what I was looking for with search.
What I was wondering is where I can find the specs on what safety gear and procedures the over the...
Check it out let me know what you think.
I think your link leads to a NASCAR collectible site.
I may be interested in one of those gauge sets, let me know if either are still available.
If anybody at Road Atlanta is looking to get rid of 14x6s real cheep or free, let me know. I will be lurking around the pits both days and am interested in any brand, any condition.
Does this just apply to extra door bars? Or can I add extra bars elsewhere in the cage that are smaller than required?
