jeromio Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 I just discovered why the S&W cages are not made from DOM tubing. Yikes. I ordered 2 lengths of 20ft each (40 total, although it may end up being more since they are random lengths) of 1 5/8 .120 wall DOM tubing for my Z. $3.75 per foot!!! (I also ordered 3 lengths of 1 3/4 for the truck at $4.00/ft. Broke = me) Just waiting for everything to show up now. Need to get some 4X3 pieces of 1/8 inch plate made up for the mounting. Supposed to weld the bottom ends to one plate and then bolt thru to another on the underside of the body work for optimum strength, etc. This could prove tricky on a Z with low ground clearance though. I'm thinking of welding nuts onto the underside plates and then grinding off whatever bit of bolt sticks out past the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
