Plenty of room.

Cage finished, subframes out, doing the final strip so we can bolt it to the rotisserie and paint the naughty bits.

Note the asymmetry: driver's side has 2 tubes tying into the firewall, while passenger side has only 1. That's to accommodate the heater. I don't think stiffness will be a problem.

Looks great, but,

9.4.3. Cars competing in Improved Touring, Showroom Stock, Spec
Miata, and Touring may extend ONE tube, from each front
down tube, forward to the firewall but not penetrating the firewall.

what a stupid rule.

My fault for inaccurate writing plus a pic from a bad angle: on the driver's side, the upper tube actually fishmouths into the lower one as a triangulating brace - it does not run all the way to the firewall.

Interesting interpretation.

Interesting interpretation.

to a goofy rewrite of a rule that really didn't need it. Make something overly complex when it comes to safety. Cage looks great!

Interesting interpretation.

Gussets and extra tubes within the cage are free....

Interpretation may not have been the right word. Did mean to come across "gray". Just interesting, meaning, wish I thought of it

Rotisserie time!
