What size OD is the cage, 1 1/2" or 1 3/4"?

That's not how it works..... that's not how any of this works....



Just because you asked --- I got off my butt and walked out to the shop and snapped some super duper iPhone pics just for you.



Here's the roll cage and it's layout in case you decide to copy it....or for anyone that wants to copy it.


Note the lack of down bars in the trunk!













































WHERE THE TALENT SITS......

^ I get it!

Alright, so 1.633 is 41.49mm which is between 1 5/8" and 1 11/16", just so we're clear....

So let's just say, for example, a guy was trying to do something nice for someone and order a helmet and steering wheel hook. They only come in 1 1/2" or 1 3/4", what do you do? The 1 1/2" will fit but the bracket will have a gap...the 1 3/4" will be loose unless the bar is wrapped. I don't have the means to open up the 1 1/2" to fit snug, besides that I don't want to put that much effort into it!

WWWD?

I would never do anything nice for anyone - so have never had that problem....



But it's a dang good question!



A guy could get the larger diameter and then use some sheet rubber (which I have already) to make the gap grippy... Yippeeeeee

[JB64CHEVELLE]

What about that famous gap spray to fill the gap..
