Anyone have roll cages?
Hello all,
I'm looking to install and roll cage into my C5 Z06. I'm a GM Vette tech so I'm quite handy with tools. I have access to a tubing bender but may not have the time to make my own. I came across this "bolt-in" roll bar, also to mount my harness'. Have any of you installed or have any of these? Thanks! http://www.wolferacecraft.com/detail.aspx?ID=200 |
Also post this in the Autocrossing & Roadracing section for further focused responses.

Thanks! Will do!

F I section couldn't hurt as well... With all the drag strip POWA folks over there:cheers:

I have a Wolfe 5 pt rollbar. It fits pretty good and my only complaint
was it made some noise jammed up against the inside halo. Everybody said it's a race car it's suppose to make a lot of noise. Not me, I like it alittle quite. I fixed that today.......... . |
Awesome! I have the Corbeau A4 Seats, I believe the seats should clear the bar. Was the install a PIA?
|
Do you just want a bar or a cage? Big difference.

I think you can put it together. Are getting a 5 or 6 pt set up.............You don't need a cage unless you go less than 10and go over 135 mph.. You will also need chute and a bunch of other safety equip. High 10s and you save a lot of money. |
Awesome. Probably just gonna go for a 5 point set up. I'm not in the 10s yet. But once I'm done with my degree I have future plans for the car.
@95wht6sp- I'm just going to do a bar. |

I haven't decided yet. I just wanted to get some feed back from fellow members.

I forget who vendor is, but a sponsor was offering a nice one in forced induction section a while back.

They are manufactured very good and not bad to install! :thumbs: Thanks,Matt |

Do you have to drop or lower fuel tanks to gain access to tighten the bolts?

I have a roll bar in my car. I am extremely happy with it. The fitment is virtually flawless and went in very smoothly.
It's a 6-point bolt-in roll bar made by Wolfe Racecraft. They powdercoated it black, it has low-slung door bars, straight rear bars, and I had provisions made for attaching belts for the driver and passanger. My only regret was not getting swing-out door bars. http://www.wolferacecraft.com/detail.aspx?ID=204 A couple pictures: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...psb5ac3caa.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...psf170eaec.jpg |
Thanks for the response! When you installed the bar did you have to lower the gas tanks for to tighten the rear bolts man?
