Make
It Safe, Bubba!
Roll cage
time. We had no idea how hard it was going to be to get the roll
cage built. It took us a year. No kidding. Austin is apparently
in tremendous need of more cage builders. Our cage was finally built
by Manny's in East Austin for $4500, more than twice the price of
anybody else. Manny was not only really expensive and really slow,
but he had to be told to put in some cross bracing and he put the
main hoop directly
over the driver's sitting position, necessitating complete redesign
of the seat mounts to allow helmet clearance. Not a pleasant transaction.
Oh, well.
Seat belts
next. With the cage installed and the seats relocated the new 5-point
Simpson seat belts could be
installed and then we could install the window nets for both sides.
Finally, we put in the fire system with nozzles for both the driver
compartment and engine bay.
