Rollcage For Z's

[carguyinok]

Well, I made A call to JEG'S (1-800-345-4545) they have the jigs for making up full cages (weld-in) in 4 point $122.99 , 8 point

$149.99, 10 point $199.99, and full 12 point cage for $269.99.

I am getting the 8 point and it takes 2 weeks for them to bend it up and ship it.

I will post some pics when it shows and then more as it gets put in. :beard:

P.S. They said they had them for all Z's @ the same prices.

I'm interested in seeing what they bend up for you. Do you know what type of steel tubing they are using? I build cages and am always curious as to what the other guys are doing. I've built quite a few for other cars as well as Zs so if you have any questions on some of the better ways to strengthen the chasis using a cage, I'd be happy to help you out.

Since Jegs is mostly into NHRA and drag racing I would say their cage kits are not SCCA approved. I doubt for the price they are asking if they are even DOM tubing. Not only that, but a 12 point cage wouldn't be legal in SCCA unless you were going to run EP or GT class.

I only say this because there is no sense in buying something only to find out that it isn't legal to use even in an SCCA sponsored autocross if that is your intention. If all you want is a roll bar in a street car it might be OK, but I would recommend DOM tubing for the strength even for just a roll bar.

Beware of buying from someone that is not in the business of selling parts for the type of racing or whatever you planning to do.

Thanks on the warning on the scca deal. but I am just doing this for street/show fun. scca has no runs close enough for me to worry about that.

As far as tubing the 4&8 point are 1-3/4x.134 wall steel and the 10&12 are 1-5/8x.134 .

The nhra & ihra standards are high enough for me. I just thought that some other ppl may want to know who has what for Z's that some times get overlooked.

Thanks again.

Jeff.

I have been eyeballing the Autopower cage (6 point). It is a bolt in cage, but I will be welding the primary connections to the chassis.

I would like to see the JEG's cage (especially the tubes before welding.)

$499 is the price for the Autopower cage.
