Second-hand, never-used (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
I may weld it in and go to the dark side over the winter... KT |

The Engman kit is under an 1/8" thick.
The base of my cage for bolt-in installs is 3/16" thick. 2 1/2"x 5" bolt plates. I want to weld these to the top of the longs. Also use a matching plate under the car that I can bolt through and weld to the underside. The tube is 1 3/4" OD and 1/8" wall thickness ( .125" ) Nate, I would like to get that tube. How long of a piece( s ) do you have? Randal, do you have some pics of the knee bar? KT |

QUOTE(trekkor @ Dec 9 2006, 12:43 PM)  I want to weld these to the top of the longs. Also use a matching plate under the car that I can bolt through and weld to the underside. i don't know exactly what you're describing, but look at JP's pic of his main hoop base plates: that's how i'd do it given that the autopower hoop already has it's own (too small IMHO) mounting plates. also note his plugwelds and perimeter welds. just a warning, it's a bit tricky managing the heat with a mig when welding the plates (thick) to the longs (not so thick). QUOTE The tube is 1 3/4" OD and 1/8" wall thickness ( .125" ) cool. thickness is .120 (they don't make .125). total overkill for a full-cage in a 914. QUOTE Nate, I would like to get that tube. How long of a piece( s ) do you have? i'll have to check my pile (later this weekend). i also might have some extra plate for your mounting plates. |
