Re: Roll cage

I bought the original roll bar from Chris Alston chassis works. The hoop "fit" but that's it.
Be warned that all cage kits made from mild steel will use seamed tubing. It will be .134" thick(which is good) and is perfectly legal. When I built my frame/cage I used .120" DOM tubing which is seamless. The DOM is also very heavy. If I was to do it again I would use Chrome Moly tubing and TIG weld. At the time I only had access to a MIG welder.
