Roll Cage question - Swing-Out or Soild Side Bars

Joe Grippo · 12-29-2010, 05:18 PM

So I currently have an 8 pt roll bar in my 70 Mustang bracket car and I am upgrading to a full cage with a dash bar. My question is the side bars, specifically swing out or solid. I am a bit of a fat *** so I’m leaning toward swing outs with additional rocker bars. Would the rocker bars be necessary to maintain the integrity and strength of the cage with cut side bars? Or will it suffice to just have the side swing out’s and no rocker bars?
Thanks.
