Rear Strut Bar

[AbeSonic]

Well sir, the question proposed was if this batch of your strut braces would fit a vert. I never said you couldnt design one ;)

You're not going to get a brace for a vert. The RSM's are in little holes below the top storage compartment, without access directly between them. The extra metal in that location help's the vert chassis over the coupe in that sense. Not that you really NEED a rear strut bar anyway, it's silly IMO.

We shall see Sunday.

Get a raceskids cross brace to fix your vert's body roll hommie

Any thoughts on roll bars for a vert?

I am away from my computer, being lazy!

Dude I owned one, I know what they look like. Unless you do surgery for a completely unnecessary part, especially in that chassis.

Now you're talking about custom work further than what we have looked into.

Nothing is out of reach, you just start paying more for custom fabrication.

We'll stick with strut braces for know.

I am not doing it because I need a strut bar. I'm doing it to help a friend. I'd be definitely interested in a roll bar if I was keeping the vert.

Teaser for you Brad.

Those welds....gahhhhh damn!

Out of my own curiousity, HREW or DOM?

We are using ERW. I'll double check if it is HREW or CREW. For now here is a little information about ERW tube.

Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) Tube
ERW is the most economical and readily available type of mechanical tuning. It is produced by taking a flat bar of steel and rolling it into a tube shape (picture rolling up a newspaper - but without any overlap) and then welding the seam - by, you guessed it - electric resistance - hence the name. Electric resistance welding is somewhat like a long, continuous spot weld. It's often computer controlled and extremely consistent. ERW is normally SAE 1010 (for wall thickness < 16 ga) or SAE 1020. ERW tube comes in 2 flavours:

Hot Rolled ERW (HREW)
HREW is rolled into a tube at elevated temperatures, usually way above room temperature. This produces a tubing that is more malleable and therefore easier to form but that is also not as strong, is supplied covered with scale, and not as uniform in dimension as cold rolled. It is also quite a bit cheaper than cold rolled.

Cold Rolled ERW (CREW)
CREW is manufactured by a process in which a steel bar is rolled into a tube and the seam welded, usually at room temperature. Compared to hot rolled, CREW is stronger - (greater yield strength) - because of the improvement in the crystal lattice structure from improved grain size, shape, and orientation imparted by being worked at cold (room) temperatures), straighter, has a much smoother and more uniform surface finish, and is made to much tighter, more consistent dimensions. It is the best economical choice for tube work, and because of the better surface finish and tighter dimensional tolerances it is much nicer to work with than HREW.

Looked inside the trunk on a vert for the first time today. I'd say it's doable but only if you cut out the make shift supports piece that is already there. Not really worth it IMO.

On another note we have 5 bars ready to go. Let us know if you want to check them out.

Interested, how far from Everett are you?

I'm across the Edmonds - Kingston Ferry. Let me know and we can hook you up.
