Thread: A bit of help needed with chassis/suspension

Tweet

First off you need a set of current specs for roll cages-----

Then you need to remove the interior---put some marks on the pieces and take photos so you can replace them later or just use them for patterns for something new

Find out the specs on the tubing used in your car---material type, OD and wall thickness

WHEN you do get going on it spread out the rear coil overs and place them at an angle so the spring rate goes up as the car rolls

Weld in the side bars

You'll need to weld in another bar, min 1 1/4 x 0.118 MS, to mount your shoulder belts. The one that's in there is waaaaaay too low. Get the seat in the car and you sitting in it, in driving position. Weld the bar in, even with your shoulders to no more than 4" below your shoulders. Also, measure the stub where the swing-out bar mounts to the B-bar. If it's over 8", it'll have to be shortened. That's what I see without lookin' too hard.
