    re the cage
    It is only the beginning of the cage build as I already had the hoop and rear support bars.
    Because its cams approved tubing I'm waiting on some more to finnish it off .
    There will be a brace between the rear towers and triangulation of the rear supports.Plus front support of the strut towers and side intrusion bars.
    As some may have noticed its running 5 stud VR6 brakes and we hope to squeeze 288 mm brakes under 15 inch wheels with 2 piston calipers at the front .
    For those of you who don't realise TassieGTi and I are related.
    More later :twisted:

      As Golfwise said...it is only just the beginning of the cage as we have used a hoop that we had from a previous MK1 Club Car. When we get the additional tubing and get to work, I'll post some detailed pics for you. By the progress you have made on your cage, it may be too late anyway!

          Yeah....happy to do so Golfman, but keep in mind that our cage is being built specifically for racing purposes and must meet certain CAMS regulations. It will be significantly different to a cage for street/show, although these would be easier to construct.
