Default Roll cage

I would like to get roll cage for my '90 but since it's large and
heavy it would probably cost me more to ship it to Croatia than
roll cage itself. Have anybody done roll cage himself?
I have a great welder that could do it to me but it takes eternity
for him to make something. So instead of giving my car to him and wait for few months ( or years), I'd like to find exact dimensions for roll cage so he could make it and I would install it.
Does anybody know if I could find dimension somewhere?

Got my 4-point from www.r-dracing.com he can ship it and ypu can bolt or weld it in. Don't know what it would cost to ship to you though.

You will probably have to measure it your self and if you do you can goto the SCCA web site to get their rule book which describes in detail what is needed for a complete cage. I do not know what is required in Croatia for racing.

Download the 2006 GCR file and in it are pictures of the minimum for what is needed to be considered a "roll cage". Goto the rall cage section...

I'm doing my own right now. It is not easy. I will take a picture tomorrow after I get back from golfing

Do you just want a roll BAR or a CAGE?
A roll bar (behind seats only) is like the R-D one above and a cage is bars all over the inside of the cabin(in front of you, above you, on both sides you, and behind you). Jeb is doing a full cage right now also. He has some pictures.

I am doing chrome moly. 1 5/8 outside diameter, .20 thick. Good for SCCA and NHRA. TIG welded.
The chrome moly is about $3.00 a foot and mild steel is alot cheaper, but heavier. CM needs to be TIG welded but MS can be MIG welded.
