Default Roll cage people get in here

I am going to install the 6 point from Tbyrne since I will need it to not get tossed off of tracks next season. . I was wondering how they install. Do you bolt plates to the floor and then weld the bar to the plates? Aslo where do the door bars bolt to down in the foot wells.

Hopefully this link to my pictures works and will help you out. My bar is custom as i firmly believe that if I need to hire a chassis shop to install a unit it should be built by the chassis shop as well. You will find that a custom locally fabricated unit may be cheaper than buying mass produced and then hiring a chassis guy to do the welding.

Unless you think you're gonna run below 11.50, you won't need a rollbar in 2005.. New NHRA rules, roll bar required @ 11.49 & faster..
