Default Looking for lock-in removable door bars for Cage!

In a recent magazine I thinkg Hot Rod had a section on lock in end to weld on your door bar end (not swing out or anything like it )

They slide in and had a set-screw to lock them and are track legal.

They were round same dia. as your cage.


Im trying to Find the company that makes them thx!

billet race craft makes some, theres a few comapanys our there, be careful welding theese in there a pain because your tubing will shrink after it cools from welding dont weld both ends until its bolted in, ive had good luck adding 1/16 before welding

If you know the diameter of the pipe order a cage insert kit. When it sais pair it means male and female. You need two of these per door or two per bar that needs to move. Kits run from $150-$250 billet chome molly, only thing that will NHRA allow on track. if you're looking fore comething cheeper, cut the pipe where you want it to be removable got to a steel shop and find yourself a 12 inch pipe that will fit snuggly over the cage bar. Cut in half and sleave it, put some weight rated bolts through it adn you're done!
