    Default Rollcage questions

    I know a few Rollcage builders lurk here, Looking for your advice...

    Is this allowed in IT or would this count as multiple points? IS this safer than welding each tube together and then 1 tube to the base?

    Single point, as long as that "box" they're attached to meets the plate rules.

    Single Point x2

    Assuming you can get full welds, my view is that the tubes meeting each other (rather than individually to the sides of the point box) is a stronger structure.

    Yup, still single point.

    The only question I have is, did you cut the inner structure panel out of the quarter panel?

    What kind of gas mix do you use to weld "shoe" ?
