RebekahsZ Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I searched and this may already have a thread, but I thought the info was valuable. I saw a roll bar main hoop in the Z-car owned by screen name SmyrnaZ at ZAttack in Nashville this past weekend. The main hoop fit like a glove! Every bit as good fit as the custom main hoop I just paid megadollars to have made. I asked SmyrnaZ where he got it. The answer: JCWhitney! The price: $77. Just want you guys who are making cages to know about this. I don't know any of the specs on it, but it looked to be 1-3/4" tubing. This option will make installing a roll bar only setup or even a NHRA 6-point cage a very do-able weekend project for anybody with a mig welder who knows how to use it. Contact SmyrnaZ for details. Sorry no pics. The bar was black and the interior was black with sun streaming thru the windows-my pics came out too poor quality to post.

savor Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) If somebody finds out, could you please post the information here? I don't want to bombard SmyrnaZ's inbox. Actually.. I feel as if I am taking crazy pills. I can't find a member by the name of SmyrnaZ in these forums. Edited April 15, 2014 by savor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xylemer Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I talked to him as well and I agree, the fit was great. I can't seem to find it though. JC Whitney's search function hasn't netted me anything. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savor Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 He told me he got it from Jegs for approximately $177. I asked for some pictures of his setup and he said he may be able to send me some soon. I will post them if I can get permission from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 If you have a local speed shop check them out. There's one about 45 min from here and they sell main hoops. From the narrowest to widest they carry, they come in about 6-8 widths. It looked like they were 2 inches increments in widths. They said they could get any hoop width made, and they were under $100 for ones they had in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 I just have misunderstood him about JCWhitney vs. Jegs. But, Smyra388Z's main hoop looked every bit as good as mine, and I paid over $1000 to have a custom 6-pt bar built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylemer Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I sent him a PM... It came from Kegs and it is $177... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvincent Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I just looked at Jegs and it's for 70-73 240Z, nothing listed for the 280Z except 2+2 I want one for a 75-76 280Z which is different from a 77-78280Z figures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
