660Z Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 My halo bar is wider than the main hoop where it need to be welded. I know per NHRA rules the main hoop can`t be cut in half and rewelded, but can the halo bar be cut. I need to remove about an inch from the center.

dr_hunt Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Why not take a tubing notcher and take 1/2" off each end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I would venture a guess to say that cutting the halo and sectioning it to fit is a no-no. I haven't seen the rulebook, but it seems like a very bad idea in general to cut and reweld any of the rollbar tubes in the middle. You might be able to pull them closer together at the ends and weld them to the main hoop just the way they are. I'm thinking a cumalong hooked around each end of the tube might do it. I know when I welded in my main hoop I had to spread it about an inch and I used a portapowr and it didn't take much effort at all to spread those suckers. If that didn't work it sounds like a call to S&W would be the next move. Apparently they bent in the wrong place or not enough on your kit.
