roll cage mounting points

(1/1)

boss:
would this hold up???????


i started knocking up the mounting points for my roll cage today.
apparentley your soposed to mount the cage on the front outriggers but thats not possible on a disco
only one at the moment as i had a little mishap with the other :oops: its 6mm thick mild steel its got 3 welds on the inside and 1 on the out side its the first time ive ever done the ripple thing with a mig and(so im told) it makes it stronger to cap it all off like that(?). there is still a plate to go onto the front of it and on the underside.



still not done but it looks ok.

Guardian.:
the weld down the outside looks fine, and would be strong enough alone, the weld down the insidelooks from the picture like it has washed a bit, or sitting on top.
if the welder is set up correctly 1 weld down the inside is all that is needed, not 3 welds, wast of time, just weave it a bit to make it wider if need be.

boss:
yes welding the inside was a bit awkward as i tacked it all together first :doh: so the weld defiantly isn't at its best!

extreme90:
is this for the front ?
why not make a new outrigger for the chassis ?
most disco cages are mounted this way
