pointless rollcage

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

pointless rollcage

Post by 4eye » Mon Mar 15, 2010 3:16 pm

I've been made to make two inner roll bars out of 2" seamed mild steal 1.2mm wall...unknown what its going in but anything bigger than a gocart and I really can't see the point....plus I have to heat bend it which will soften the weakest poins.....makes no sense to me! :?:

:lol: :lol: nah tony i think that'll be as strong as a drainpipe rollcage, you'll be better off with scaff tube :lol:

i'm sure it'll be stong enough in a roll over 4eye, you best get out and test it to make sure :lol:
