So weve made some headway over the last few weeks. the design has altered slightly, but only due to trying to keep as light as possible. The second upright near the front has been deleted as has the bottom straight section back to the B pillar. only the diagonal will be installed. (this was both done due to interfering with the seat mounts and due to the weight addition) The main roll hoop is in my opinion short enough not to need the diagonal, and at this stage is only planned for having the horizontal bar welded in due to lack of space/weight constraint. The other bar that has been left out is the roof diagonal, both left out due to weight saving. so no X in the roof. (obviously these can all be welded in at a later stage if required) hopefully finish welding over the next few days. J schedule DOES call for the diagonal in the main roll hoop, but as said before, this isn't a race car, only a track car and if that designation changes, so can the cage.
I know there are design short comings, but its all a compromise. Pretty happy with how its turning out.
