I`m waiting on a rule book right now, but maybe someone knows, I want to do a pin in bar for easier access to the cockpit. Here what I was thinking....If I can make the pin in just about the total length of the strut tube I could run a nice straight tube for the track and get a seconed tube made that drops down real low and rides the floor like an autocross bar. That would make ingress and outgress alot more friendly for the street, but still have the structre to support the plywood like frame. I have a chassis builder thats possibly going to do my bar and here is the only kind of pin in he has done....

 

Shouldn't have a problem doing what you've described. I do know that the clevis type ends shown in the picture above won't pass NHRA tech though. Specifics regarding this are in the rulebook.
