In a couple of days, a buddy of mine and I are going to begin installing a S&W roll cage(8-point) in my 89 iroc. I have a good idea how it is suppose to be installed. However, I was wondering if there was a website somewhere that may have detailed instructions. There may be a reference on this website that I do not know about. S&W supplied and extreme brief set of instruction with very little detail. It also comes with a not so good drawing of the installation.

Some pictures would be nice showing the location of the mounts for a S&W cage. This is basically my main concern. However, I think many times the mount locations are a matter of person perference and how safely the cage best fit the car.

Thanks

 

you may want to ask on the suspention boards, this is more related to that than appearance.

thanks

 

If you plan on going to the track and / or getting the cage certified in any way, you should read the NHRA rule book to see what the requirements are for installation. When I had my kit installed my installer had measured me seated in the car so that he can get the dimensions NHRA legal. I think the top of the roll bar has to be within so many inches of your helmet, the cross bar has to be a certain height, and hte down tube on the side has to pass between the elbow and shoulder. I dont know if those are correct or not just what I was told. Maybe this thread will show you more on where the mounts go.

Wow, that looks bad ***, but those bars in the hatch area look like they weigh quite a bit.

 

Why do you need anything more than a 5 point? You probably added 200 pounds to the car. You can run 10.00s legally with a 5-point bar.
