I feel bad really, but who can talk shit when you have a PVC roll cage in your track car?

Holy shit on mah balls.

I like to use these connectors at the joints on the main hoop. That way, if you ever decide to go with a full cage, you can simply add on without taking apart the old roll bar.

seriously guys.. ?? hilarious.

but doesnt the PVC squeak too much when you go around turns.. or does the welded pvc not do this? and OP, you should definitily use at LEast 1" OD if youre goingwith pvc, 25% stronger and olny 10% heavier than the3/4"

When I did mine, I used that spray foam to insulate and secure the pipes. No squeaks or anything, and its solid. Shit it impressed the hell out of those dumbass d-bags at the track. They all begged me to take out their heavy steal cages and replace them with the lightweight PVC cages. This is some cutting edge shit right here.

i know its far but its well worth it. Fabrication is done at the highest level. Welding is top notch. This is one of the beasts worked on by them.

^ yep. Dont worry it sounds really finnicky and complex and what not but its a snap after the first few tries. Do some practice bends

me and stephen used angle connectors SOLEY FOR MOCK UP, for final roll bar assembly. you need to heat the pvc piping up to 345* C to melt the plastic but avoid ruining the molecular structural integrity of the pvc. this is key. you need to get a laser temperature gauge to make sure you get it at the right time. otherwise you're back to square one.
