Ash - I thought that at least for competition spec you alwys used beefy box section not standard outriggers and usually everything is welded in place (none of this slotting tube over tube).

landyman Ash:
I think for ARC (HENRY WHERE ARE YOU?????) it does have to be welded to chassis
The outrigger I think can be standard but dont quote me on that.
Certainly the sloted design shown would be acceptable. Mine is a slotted design but with two feet of tubing and then its welded.
I want to beef up my outriggers just for peace of mind!!
datalas:
ISTR that you *can* use the standard outriggers, but that they must be strenghened on three sides and basically rebuilt out of much stronger stuff, same goes for the rear X-Member etc.
Then again, that was a couple of years ago. The green book should clear up any confusion mind.
landyman Ash:
Yeah I dont have mine with me.
Henry will tell you and its on the ARC website. Mine would fail I know that as I never did the strengthening struts.
Anyway, new outriggers going on mine hopefully next weekend so I'll check the book and (its blue now isnt it???) and I'll post the pics on MC.
Never can be too strong!!
The rear of my cage is welded with 6mm plate to the rear chassis. Thats is ARC correct I knwo that as I got it checked
