Re: Show your roll cages!

I'm surprised you got away without any cross bracing between those rear bars.

if the rearward bars are 1 5/8 dia, and mounted to the horizontal section of the main hoop, additional bars are not necessary. If the rearward bars are smaller than 1 5/8 dia, then additional bars are required according to the diameter used.

You'd have to build it to the roadster spec to eliminate the rearward bars from a main hoop configured roll cage. Otherwise, if you use a traditional roll cage with main hoop, you'll have to run rearward bars and then will end up passing through the rear window or cab itself.
