Default Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series

More about the Auto Weld Chassis roll cage kit.

This series of photos shows an initial fitting of the mail hoop. It is designed to go through the floor and set directly on the rear cab mount. The cab mount is re-located inside the frame.

The main hoop is intentionally cut slightly long to allow just the fit you want. The photos show it slipped through the floor and touching the cab mount [factory cab mount is removed]

The legs are too long as seen by the bar touch the cab mount at an angle. Once the legs are the correct length they will set squarely on the mounts. I will take several small cuts off the hoop legs to sneak up on the fit I want. Even will put the drivers seat in position to check fit.

A plate welds to cab mounts and hoop legs. In addition, the mount will be braced. In side the cab, two "struts" come off the hoop legs down to the floor.
