HELP wolfe 8 pt.
HELP wolfe 8 pt. i found some useful threads before but cant seem to get the answers im looking for again. search keeps showing anti roll bar installs so..
1) isn't there a way to install the main hoop below the floor pans for a stronger core?
2) how do i know where things are supposed to line up at considering the cage comes with no dimensions for measurements for proper placement..
3) what all has to be done in order to weld the plates on the flat area or do you just simply weld them when in place?
and more questions will arise im sure. but i have the 8 point..no swing outs..mild steel..bars go to flat area

Im not familair with the product, but why in the world wouuldnt it go to the rear sub frame rails? Easy to get to, no removing the gas tank, and when you look in the rear view mirror, you see no bars.....clear vision.
Oh and since they are to the sub frame rails, well they are a weee bit more effective then welded to a piece off tin above the tank. Seems like the last place to weld a cage would be to the area I can cut with a cheap air nibbler.....versus the sub frame.

I used magnets and the 2" wide green body masking tape to hold everything in place while I figured out where I wanted the bars to be mounted to the floor. Then I welded all the plates down.
I also had to take about 1/2" off the bars that go by your arms and the one behind the seat.

just put it in loose and make slight tweaks till it lines up the way you want. the main hoop should be just about even with the door opening. use a tape measure to verify what you think you see in terms of alignment and make sure both sides are equal. i'd tack the rear bars to the hoop first so you can lean it back and weld it the whole way round.
when i get the main hoop and rear bars in place i can tack that..then take it out of the car, correct? that way after i have everything else marked off i can take it out and get good 360* welds in that area..then paint..reinstall..and weld to plates then weld in door bars and paint. sound about right?
