Is a 6 point roll bar that has the added bars to make it a full 10 point cage meet the same requirements as a regular 10 point cage would? Assuming it was all purchased from wolfe are the diameters of the tubing the same then? Or would it be better to ditch the 6 point and buy a whole new 10 point in order to be legal?

You should be able to convert and pass tech. Depends more on the install.

In what way? The welds themselves or where it was welded?

As I was told an NHRA legal 6 point uses thicker tubing and a 10pt uses a smaller tubing. You can upgrade your 6 pt to a 10 pt but if you want to save some weight ditch the 6 pt if it's NHRA legal and start fresh. When I had my 6 pt. I had it made with the smaller chromoly tubing with the expectation of upgrading it eventually. Not exactly "legal" but I got by. Now I've since upgraded to the 10pt.

I talked to my chassis guy abotu this very topic, and my 6 pt is being built so that it can be finished to a 10 pt without having to cut it out. The difference in the weight of the tubing, is about 25 lbs. That little bit, I'll live with when I have it converted over. It will just be one jet change larger, and that will fix that issue

a 6 point has to be 1 3/4 tubing , a 10 point can be 1 5/8 and still be legal.

Well at least you can convert your 6 to a 10 and be legal. That was my worry.

the weight differnence, FWIW, from 1 3/4 to 1 5/8 CM is way less then the difference is going from mild steel to chromoly.
