mounting plates need to be thick and big. read the (SCCA) gcr for necessary dimensions (I forget off top of my head, but probably .120 thickness -- there is also a surface area requirement iirc). i think mine were 3/16" thick. jp's pictures look just right to me, and andy's cage is obviously worth checking out in person. I think you are definitely going to want to weld this thing in.

have you determined if the tubing is dom? what's the OD and wall thickness? just curious -- i think this setup will be just fine for your intended purpose. i might have some extra dom 1.5x095 in the garage that i could sell you undermarket if you need to do any additional fabbing.
