Intrest Check: Harness Bar/Roll Cage

Status
Not open for further replies.
As for timing, our cage builder is buried in work. He said he would have a window available to build the first cage in about 60 days. It usually only takes about a day or two to build each cage, so once the first kit is built others can be made rather quickly. If people want a 6 point kit, it would be best to design the 6 point cage first and then the 4 point kit can be made by deleting the front half of the cage. If someone wants to be the test car for the first 6 point cage, we can give you a special deal on the cost, and you will get the cage installed by the cage master. Make a vacation of it and drive your car out to the west coast.

Once the cage kit is designed, we can ship them most anywhere. If I remember correctly, shipping on a 4 point kit is about $100-150 to the midwest and $150-200 to the east coast.

Hope that helps. Let me know how you guys want to move forward. This project does not require a group buy minimum. We just need a test car and orders. If we cannot get a test vehicle locally, you will force me to borrow my mother-in-law's Contour SE for fit up. I could probably use it to get enough measurements for a 4 point kit, but a 6 point would be pretty difficult to swing. Please don't make me borrow her car ;-)

Do we have pricing anywhere? I wouldnt mind either the 4 or 6 point cage. Is this something that can be bolted in or must be welded? Prices will be anywhere around, guesstimate? I am interested.

I am more interested in a harness bar at this time. I like the idea of the 4 point hoop, but I still use my back seats. I will be curious to see your design.
 
x3, but not because I use the backseat. Just due to price and actual need over want. Really you shouldn't be using the backseat with a harness bar installed either.
 
if you get access to a car for mock up you should look into a rear strut tower brace as well. Quite a few of us jumped on a GB last year for one that ended up falling through and they are pretty tough to come by these days.
 
I'm interested in a 4 point cage/roll bar, but don't put me down for one. I won't be able to afford it right now, but most likely I will later in the year. So would there be a problem or anything to order this later in the year?

Also, how about integrating a RSTB into the roll cage/roll bar you guys would be making?

We can look into it.

Once we make them they will be offered as a made to order item.

With the location of the RSTB Id don't think we will do that but we can look into it.

That is cool that you are so close. I will email you and get the conversation started. It looks like there are enough people to really make this project go.

This is what I'm talking about with a RSTB integrated into the roll bar/cage:

I am definitely interested in a cage/harnessbar put me down. is it possible to have the harness bar integrated into the rollcage?
 
The harness bar is an integral part of the 4 point kit, so you are covered there. I can work with the cage builder to also incorporate a rear tower brace. I am still working with him on options and prices, so as soon as I have anything, I will update the group.
