Re: Bobs GTD

Hi Bob,
Looks like you have some work to do there - welcome to the club. The roll cage is a good idea but whilst it is apart I would add a strong main hoop to the outside perimeter of the bulkhead made from strong cold drawn tubing of about 2 inch diam. also replace the rectangular tube at the top with 2 tubes from strong tubing. Also put in backstays from the bulkhead main hoop to the rear chassis - remember your head is quite valuable to you! Mount tubes to the chassis via plates of steel. Pic of similar on a Southern GT attached (approved for hillclimbs and sprints by UK MSA)
Cheers
Mike
