Hi Phil:
Thanks for your response to my query. I totally agree, the driving seat
and harness need to be a part of the cage structure and that's what I
plan. I recall reading Dave Bean's newsletter about a year ago, he had
just rolled an Elan and he came to the same conclusion. As I recall, he
observed that a simple roll bar is not enough, a cage with seat and floor
reinforcements was his next step.
Shaped the main hoop last night with a Hossfelder bender. With the mild
steel, .095 wall tubing its a workout to bend manually and took two of us
on the end of the 7 foot lever to get it done. We're now investigating a
hydraulic accessory to help!
