WoW!!! Rocking #`s !!!
Who`s midplate you gona use?:king:

Ha, ain't going quite that far.

Thanks!

What? gona use front plate trans mount ?????????????????

That was the plan. Trying to keep things simple. You don't like that call I take it.

I know you are.....cage and seat mount strength, steering column. I'm not going to push it any farther. just wanted to make sure there's a balance of horsepower and safety in the build because that motor definitely tips the scales. :bigun2: :thumbsup:

Good points. I am going to raise the front of my seat bracket to get a better angle and body position -- something I wasn't happy with before. I have the Corbeau sliding seat brackets for now, but I do like the side mounts and figure they are stronger.

Also have considered a Woodward type column.... I do have the factory collapsible column for what's worth. I know, it ain't close to a Woodward but it's better than nothing and what many have.

I do appreciate and welcome this discussion. :thumbsup:

I know you do. :thumbsup:
Greg's rear loop bracing grabbed my attention as a good start, I'm far from an engineer or cage expert though. Sutton and Alston appear to know them well.

If the cage, seat, belts, and column all do their job in a "substantial" event that's reasonable safety.

I would like to get my cage checked out and evaluated at some point. The previous owner took the car to a fab shop and asked them to build him an SCCA cage... I just don't know exactly how well it passes muster.

Greg's cage is very nicely done it appears.

If Brett is able to complete the front tie-in, which I am sure he is capable of, then I think I will be pretty satisfied with my cage front to back.

My guess is Brett will know if it's structurally right or wrong. :thumbsup:

This is a good conversation ! :thumbsup:
