That cage looks awesome, I'm assuming this is for a race car.

What's with the main harness bar?

I'm pretty sure this won't pass inspection. Its never a good idea to have tubes, especially ones where your harness is going to be mounted to, be terminated mid way on a tube.

You should seriously have this looked at, and at the least checked off by your sanctioning body to be allowed to run.

Normally you need to have the harness bar go between the main hope.

Did you guys drop the cage through the roof, or through the floor to get 360 degree welds on the tubes on the base of the chassis?

Edit: I just noticed its in the UK different, rules, but still not a good idea to terminate mid tube.

Matt has the harness bar all the way across incorporating the main hoop pick ups to the front diff mounts, all OK over here.

Thanks Dom, this cage is now painted awaiting assembly, motor should be strong, 3.0L with Evo head and t/bodies, evo sump and picup, wossner pistons comp 12.5-1, schrick 296 cams from memory ?, arp bolts through out, de-vanos, DTA ECU, all balanced, knife edged crank, Carbon Airbox, will post more when it starts to come together.

[DomM3]

Sounds good, Martin.
You put the VANOS out???
The 3.0 enige has a good base, for a race engine.

I have a bigger oil pump and pan, with group N bearing shells.

Yes No Vanos on the engine, mine still runs it but Matt has deleted it and has a lot more power mid range.
