Parts help

[rocky]

Anyone know where I can find quality parts and pricing on things like a good cage and suspension for my 3rd gen CMC project.I am not too sure if the ones(cages)in Jegs or Summit will be legal cause they always say NHRA legal.Thanks for the help

I bought the through the dash kit from S&W Race Cars then modified it to fit the NASA CCR.

4.12 Door Safety Bars

In addition to meeting all of the CCR specifications the roll cage in a CMC car must meet the following additional specifications. At a minimum at least two door safety bars must be used on the drivers side, and one door safety bar on the passenger side. Gutting of the door beyond what is solely necessary to fit cage bars is allowed. However, removal of the OEM door impact beams is only allowed if door bars extend out towards the door skin on the driver's side, and on the passenger side if a minimum of two door bars are used.

 

If the above link adequately illustrates the cage you get for $500, you will have to add 1 bar on the driver's side and remove the "inner bars" of the main hoop.

 

And you cannot remove the factory side impact bars.

That S&W cage as illustrated also doesn't have the mandatory diagonal in the main hoop, and the kicker bars that go down to the trans tunnel exceed the legal number of chassis attachment points. By the time you add to and modify that kit, you might as well have just gotten a custom cage built.

thanks for the info.guess i will modify a kit.I do do not know of anyone local who can build a cage,just out of curiosity about how much does that run.Mitch I just realized you were on LS1 tech also.

I repurposed some of the bars that came with the kit and bought one stick of 1 3/4"X0.120 DOM for door bars on both sides. At the time, tubing was high and it was cheaper to buy the kit mostly prebent than buy it straight and pay the labor to have it bent.

 

Do NOT think that this is a plug and play kit. It's just a shortcut around some of the more complicated bending tasks.

I know its not plug and play.I have helped a little on a cage install before.I know it can be time consuming and a pain to get it in and right.Also I took Landy in Nomex's advice.I have joined frrax as well and checking out things there.I have found some pics to help me out,I just need to go back over the CCR with whoever I chose to weld it in.Kent if you check this out do you know a good place around the Richmond area or Newport News area that could do this for me.I am stuck between the 2 and it takes me about the same time to get to either location.

Rocky,

Check out Kirk Racing in Alabama.kirkracing.com.I bought my cage kit from them for my 3rd gen and have had lots of compliments.Ask for their A Sedan kit.Very nice people to deal with.Had it delivered to CA in less than a week.I had some friends who build late models install it and they said it was very easy to fit.You can order with Nascar door bars that fit nicely.They advertise in GRM.
