Cage design Question Alright I had a wolfe 6 point cm cage to start with. I front halfed the cage. My question is would adding a bar off the over the seat bars help any? I was thinking of adding a bar to go back and tie in on top of the rear subframe. Here is a pic.

I went ahead and bent up some 1.5" cm and notched it. Would it offer any structural help if i put one on each side as pictured. The bar is just siting there now...its not welded. I was just wanted to ask before i went adding extra weight for no reason

Where you need the support is where the shocks and springs mount.. You could put that bar in to mount fuel cell etc off of and a chute mount but I would make the bars straight.

OK, i may just leave them out if there not going to srengthen anything. I plan on just fabbing up something similar to the wolfe chute mount. I'll send you some more pics on Monday Brian and let you see what you think i need to add to the cage.
