FAWK! Need a Cage! Can Anyone help me Weld in Cage?
As you guys have noticed, the bumper supports are rocked. They need to come off and I need to takem off. I dont feel safe driviing like that so I'm going to order a Cage.
Can anyone lend me their welding talents for a few hours? Thanks :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: |
So instead of new bumper supports you're just getting a cage?
:confused: |

Originally posted by Killerjello true, but ummm.... i was thinking..... a bumper absorbs the inpact in a frontal collision..... isnt a cage for when you roll your car???? how would it help at all in a frontal impact? most circle track guys done even have bumpers and use a cage. they wreck CONSTANTLY |

Trey,
Need to add my $ .02 on this one. You are right about the bumper supports being there for energy absorbtion, but by eliminating the core support and adding a cage you eliminate the chance for the car to absorb energy and YOUR BODY absorbs any impact energy. A cage will help stop the passanger compartment from collapse, but a more ridgid structure means the energy has to go somewhere. The energy will be transfered right to you! :eek: I think your effort would be better spent repairing the bumper support structure, then replace the bumper support. IMHO. |
