The Wahoo 05-14-2004, 04:17 PM For those of you who have a bar running behind the seats for a harness, have you also run some tube for triangulation to stop it from skewing if you roll, or is that one straight bar enough? If you have triangulated and have a bar for harnesses, did you just run it from base to corner of the straight one? Thanks. Cain 05-14-2004, 04:39 PM Here's a TJ cage of one of our Challenge Jeeps in the shop being built. The harnesses strap to the parallel bar behind the seats. Loads of pics here (http://www.darksiderz.co.uk/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=sd_cage&page=1) The cage was built by www.safetydevices.co.uk and comes with all certificates for racing Rugger99 05-15-2004, 02:46 PM Cain...what are those brackets for on the main hoop? It looks as if they are holding in a sidebar with two chrome bolts :confused: Not ripping on your design, just curious about the reason for the brackets :flipoff2: Cain 05-16-2004, 03:47 AM Rugger99 we are talkin pic 8 yes.Well one side of the bracket is welded to the main hoop and the other side of the bracket to the sidebar and then bolted together,it is not a slip joint..Safety Devices do this for extra strength and also the cage can be striped from the Jeep, also the same as The World Rally Series Cars. All their Cages are to FIA specs Cain B_j33pz 05-16-2004, 12:31 PM I've seen alot of different combos when it comes to this, I also had the same question. From what I have seen, most people are running a angle from one corner of the main hoop to the floor and then a straight bar for the harness. To me it seems as if that design would be "safer" and would support the hoop alot better. ashmanjeepXJ 05-17-2004, 12:45 PM For those of you who have a bar running behind the seats for a harness, have you also run some tube for triangulation to stop it from skewing if you roll, or is that one straight bar enough? This weekend I was building this internal cage in a ZJ, it has a spreader at shoulder height for harnesses. The triangualtion in the roof will help hold the b-hoop, but I would like to see an additional diagnal or a full x going through this spreader. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid116/p6a0cc8f14ebf02d0a45abe13a0798052/f8a86fc5.jpg My trail rig has a full X on the roof centered at the B-hoop and a full x on the b-hoop. I dont run Harnesses yet so no spreader. | |
