The CAGE Finally finished the CAGE - Plates welded to body as per CAMS specifications pertaining to 6 mounting points - 2 x front lat. Roll bars, 2 x main hoop, 2 x back stays - plates welded to body using MIG - All tube drawn over mandrel seamless 350kpa 38mm tube, apart from main hoop which is 44.45mm tube of same type, as per CAMS specifications. - All tube to tube connections TIG welded as per CAMS specifications. Cage is desisned to run full interior with only minor cutouts on rear tower,dash corners and rear trim behind seats. Was a task leaving the roof lining in . Cage is hard up against it now I worked out a way to tag the B pillars without cutting up the quarter trims ,just a little slot on each Towers have also been stitch welded . Aim was to get a cam spec cage with minimal weight. Estimated weight is 30 -35KG BOX SECTION WELDED DOWN TO WHEEL ARCH CUSTOM SPLICE JOINT CONNECTIONS MACHINED FROM MILD STEEL BILLET WITH M12 BOLTS A PILLAR TAGGED. just enough room to slot and slide the trim in B PILLAR TAGGED FRONT BAR NOTCHED TO ALLOW CAGE WHERE I WANTED IT REMOVABLE SIDE INTRUSION BAR SHAPED TO THE CONTOUR OF DOOR TRIMS MY FAVOURITE SEATS COBRA GT SUZUKA PRO . If I decide to turn it into a full race car ,I will add better side intrusion bars and continue cage to front towers Do the job for now STIFFER and SAFER

excellent good work man . they 1 m over ? so you are not going to polish the bowls or the exhaust side ( only ) ? i think it would be a good idea . i have polished my bowl, but not the exhaust side , i will be doing this tho no the new motor
sorry , yes the chamber, and just the exhaust port, not the intake , intake is good. also i would be polishing the tops of the pistons on my engine . polishing these parts is good for 2 reasons, 1 it stops cracks forming on the top of the pistons ,( under high power ) tiny tiny cracks. you will only see under microscope, and also lets the air travel better , smoother, ( not much in the way of power gain ) just strength ) just my 2 cens , but a very good 2 cens. your build is crazy , good work . p.s also i forgot to mention it will definitely reduce the amount of carbon build-up on the bowl ( the section around the valves ) and on the piston crowns
