tube was 45mm cold drawn seamless bent on a hydraulic bender. all joints were welded by a coded welder. some of the butt welds are invisable....

Post by: pedro on March 02, 2006, 21:46:32: That is one awsome looking cage.
Im currently building a bobbed rangie.
Im a bit unsure about the cill through the front wing.
Is the any chance you could give me advise on where the cage is mounted internally.
Cheers.

Pedro, technically its an external cage, not internal.

The front/rear hoops are connected to the chasis. The front one comes down in front of the front door post (see picture), the rear one connects to the chasis just next to the body out rigger. This one comes through the floor (rear footwell).

If you need any more info, just ask.
