Also its nice to have a bar running across the car between the base of the main hoop, making it into a full circle rather than an upside-down U. This can be dificult to achieve but its quite doable if you use your head, one of the nice ways to achieve it is to run it across the floor to the transmission tunnel and then make up a removable section to bolt in from below and a welded in section to follow the tranmission tunnel from above, thereby linking up the two sides of the cages *and* giving you a tailshaft hoop (depending on how far rearwards you cage is relative to your gearbox). Talk with your engineer and see what he will allow in terms of barwork across the doorway, if he's too strict, shop around to find a more lenient engineer. In terms of roof integrity its nice to have an additional bar which runs straight from the top of the A pillar to the floor in addition to the bent one following the A-pillar itself. Also where the A-pillar legs meet the main hoop is a weak point so triangulation between the A-pillar and mainhoop in the vertical plane will add significant strength. Time for another coat of paint on the KE30, is anyone following this yet? [Report message to a moderator]
