roll cage question

Post by suzukigav »

Currently in the process of building a roll cage for my sierra, have built and installed the main roll bar behind the seats, It is only bolted to the wheel arches by a plate on top of the wheel arch and a plate underneath in the wheel arch...
it seems pretty strong. There are going to be 2 bars connected to the top corners of the main roll bar that will travel back towards the tail gate... I could just bolt these to the shell also but i'm wondering if it's worth the effort cutting holes and bolting them to the chassis?

Any ideas?

Bolt to the body, under no circumstance bolt the front to one compnent and the rear to another ie body and chassis. In an accident things could get very messy.

http://www.ccda4wd.com.au/ These guys have some specs and info you can download off the web on the front page. Gives a good guide on "comp spec" cages, and you can apply that info to a recreational cage.

AFAIK if it is going to be mod plated and legal it cant be bolted to the chassis

Not 100% sure on that, but my 6 point is plated and bolted to body with plates.
