Roll cage Plans

[Aesr5]

Hey guys. Im just bot done trashing out and empting my whole interior on my sr5.
My question is, does Any1 got any writtin plans (measurements & pics) of building a roll cage for my ae86?

Would really help since im buying the material and welding it myself.
Just to save some time, would really appriciate it

Making a roll cage that will be a good thing and pass for racing is a lot harder than it looks. Consider how you are going to bend the tubes without crushing them? USA is actually behind the rest of the word when it comes to building rally cars to regulations. The best guidlines for building a cage will probably come from CAMS in Australia. Look through the webside and read "schedule J" which is the rollover protection section.

Buy a cage and modify it. Its pretty hard to build a whole cage by yourself.
You have to buy a expensive pipebender and you have to use the right steel. Check up with FIA regulatives. Crome moly steel are not FIA approved.
You can not use a pipebender with a hydraulic piston. You have to find a bender, that pull the pipe around a rod.

I build my own, but bought the bended pieces, fitted them myself and fittet some ekstra pipes.

Its is important, that you not hit the head against the pipes over you head, so beware of it and try it with seats in place.

See the pics of my allmost finished cage.

Notice that in most FIA regulations , you must have a cross on the door side .




on my Federation rules , roll cage feet must have at least 120cm² of surface
welded , or bolted with minimum 4 x 8mm bolts .

Some good informations here
