[QUOTE="atomicjoe23, post: 1831445, member: 14072"] So there are basically 3 choices when it comes to constructing the portion of the roll cage forward of the main hoop: 1) a halo 2) down tubes going from the main hoop along the roof and down the A-pillar with a header bar 3) a forward hoop that follows the A-pillars and windshield with bars going between it and the main hoop. Is there a distinct advantage of one over the other from a safety/protection or fabrication point of view? The only thing I can see is that the 3rd option would most likely require 4 bends in a single tube vs. 4 and two of those bends would be out of plane adding to the complexity of the part. Thoughts???
