REDRAGN53 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I currently have a custom made 4 point roll bar in the back half of my Civic (1.75x.120 DOM per NASA specs with correct cross bar on main hoop). I want to complete the cage up front and needed to get an opinion. Does the cage have to fit flush against the inner body of the car? My current roll bar is several inches from the B pillars where it bends near the roof but provides plenty of buffer room around the driver. Does a cage have to be as close as possible to the body...or does the design just have to provide for driver protection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm577 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 does not have to be flush with the car. The top of the cage should be at least a few inches taller than your head with helmet on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriverGT5 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Is it off only around the bends or are the sides not flush either? The bends have to be a minimum radius which means no cage will ever fit perfect along the bends, but you should have very little room along the top bar and along the B-pillar. I re-did my whole cage for a few reasons, mainly because I didn't like where the 4point bolted in and the main hoop was bent more than 180 degrees. Pictures help BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDRAGN53 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Sorry no pics to upload...it is however close to the roof and sides...it may be alittle more than 180 but within the +/- 10 allowance. Glad your cage was strong @ The Rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
