Bolt In Cage
 

Hey Guys and Gals,

I am in talks with the shop that built Wiggins roll cage to make me a Bolt in NASA legal cage. This would also meet all SCCA standards as well.

I would like to thank Wiggins for being a crucial part in making this possible! He is a great guy and has allowed the shop to use his cage for the basis of the build. THANKS BROTHER!

If he doesn't mind I will post up some pics of his to give people a visual of what we are working with.

To be NASA Legal we will be installing "Bolt In" Door Bars as well.

All mounting plates will be welded and bolted in the floor and the rear shock towers.

all piping will be 1.75" diameter as well.

I will let people know the pricing but from what I have gathered so far this will be fairly affordable!

THANKS AGAIN WIGGINS!

p.s. They will be looking at what will have to be done to make an adapter for the top secret strut tower brace!

Very cool!

Happy to help in any way I can. I've been talking to the shop about reproducing mine for awhile and with spring quickly approaching now is the perfect time. Right now its a 4 point cage, but im looking into making it a 6 point. If anyone is interested in further details send Bullitt or myself a message.

Very cool bullitt. Keep us posted on the progress.

Also it was great that Wiggins could help out. Be sure to rep the man for being cool (and having a sick car!)

I'd want one...

Wiggins and I are looking to get these in a reproduce able package. I am looking to have them in both my cars... And I drive on the Street.

In street mode there wont be door bars but on the track they will bolt right in.

:tup:

terribleone would you be interested in a 4 or 6 point?

Good stuff! What is install cost usually for these?

I'm in if they build it! I would like to see the 6 point before I say if I want a 4 or 6,most likely the 6 point.

You will only need 4-6 plates welded in and then you can install it yourself.

The plates will be 3/16" thick according to the NASA standards. and the rear towers if bolted will have to be done so in a sandwich manner and I think you have to use grade 5 (5/16 sized) bolts if I remember correctly. The floor plates I believe can be just welded in (1 behind each seat and 1 in each floorboard)...

I'd be very interested in a 4 point to run a harness. 6 point is a bit too hard core for me at the moment. Also interested in the price.

A diagonal bar is needed to be legal in SCCA or NASA for club racing.

It will have a Diagonal bar

6 point with the front bolted in. I'm in. :tup: I want to be able to unbolt the front bars for the street.

Interested. But would it interfere with the seats in the 15? They already touch the roof, and I have to sit all the way back as is, can't afford to loose any more legroom.

I've had my brides ever since I've had the cage. That being said, I can slide the seat all the way back on the Bride sliders. I'm sure that wasn't too helpful. Just my experience.

Wiggins, is the shop local, curious who it is. Pm me. I'veused 2 different shops in Cincinnati area to build sfi cert cages for Nhra. But was curious who you guys were using for these.

Do these not count as diagonal bars or do they need to be located somewhere else?

The diagonal under discussion is in the main hoop. This diagonal is in the rear brace legs

Wonder how much this would be to the masses??

Id be interested in buying one :)

Now this is subject to change as I haven't talked to Endurance about pricing since last October, but at that point in time they had come up with two pricing options.

1) raw un-powdercoated 4 point bolt in cage - $900 plus S&H
2) Powdercoated 4 point bolt in cage - $1300 plus S&H, buyer to supply powdercoat of their choosing.

I'm trying to get an idea of pricing to turn my 4 point into a 6 point. Once we hammer out those details pricing on 6 point will be posted.

op- wow that looks great :tup:

Do you have contact information to this shop?

Is this type of cage street legal?

Subbed

Definitely Interested in a 4pt Version. Sickness!!

remember folks, unless you're wearing a helmet whenever you're driving your car, you dont want to go and run a roll cage. running one on the streets as a daily driver can kill you in an accident even if the entire cage is properly cushioned with foam..etc. you need a full 5 point harness, and proper seats before you go buying a roll cage!

Yes it is street legal.

In for final price on these beauties

I have the exact same seats, harnesses and amuse bar as wiggins :tup: I would be interested in one as thats the only reason I have the amsur support bar was to screw u harnesses into it and look bad ***. Being able to keep that piece of shinny and make the car street/track drivable I like. Most likely be interested in a 4 point having not seen a 6 yet. I do recall this process some tie back about producing these and I'm glad it's not gonna die :icon18:

I had a conversation with Mike at Endurance Motorsports today to discuss some logistics and I know Billet did as well so he can chime in from his discussion. Here's a brief summary. Mike expressed some concern related to those of you looking to install this cage and use it in any sort of "class" racing event, reason being is there are apparently (I can neither confirm or object to this) specific rule sets for cage building when racing in certain classes. When I went to Endurance last spring, the cage was built for show and street use. The cage is built with high quality materials and is more than rigid enough for my purposes, however Mike expressed that if someone wanted to use this cage for class racing he would much rather have the car and build a cage specific to that car.

So that being said, who's looking for a cage for street and show use? Yes, the cage is rigid enough to use with a harness so this option can replace other options of the same variety on the market for just a fraction more in cost.

I would also assume the cost of a raw, un-powdercoated cage will be about $900 plus shipping.

I'm planning on taking my car to Endurance towards the end of March for some other work so, depending on interest these could be ready as soon as late April.

Im not asking for any sort of payment. Right now I just want to gauge interest at a more serious level so here starts a list. Lets see how many we have on board.

Count me as interested. Curious to what makes it class legal depending on scca Or strip

We were looking at NASA standards... I have a question out to nasa in respects to the bolt in aspect of the cage. Nasa is more strict than scca.

Being I only use my as street at the moment lol when it's put together, I would prefer the nasa rules then. I believe that's what most guys in my area are doing. Thanks mike! Keep me posted brotha

I do trackdays. The track I go to doesn't have any rules for a cage. But in the future. I'm planning on going to other tracks. And I don't know if they have any rules for cages. So I would like to be safe and not sorry if it was built to someone's spec's.
