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!

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.

Yes the seats will fit.
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.

Swingout or removable 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.

That is where I got mine and my friend did his Z06 from there too!

With these you can also weld them to the frame - they are good for the 9 second club (9.99) "IF" you a door bar - I did the removable door bar!

They are manufactured very good and not bad to install! :thumbs:

Thanks,Matt

Thanks for your response Matt. I think I'm going to give them a call tomorrow. I would like if they could powder coat my cage a different color other than black lol, more like red. :yesnod:

They can but you pay extra..

That's what my buddy did - he had his done in Yellow to match his Vette!

Not sure how much more it'll be but it probably isn't too much more! :thumbs:

They are real good to deal with and their product is excellent:D

Thanks,Matt

Awesome thanks for your help Matt. I'm going to be calling them tomorrow.

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.

Thanks for the response! When you installed the bar did you have to lower the gas tanks for to tighten the rear bolts man?
