Anywho, I saw an anchor point that made me think. How strong is this design? It would appear with just those bends welded that the cage could move vertically with the mount flexing, perhaps causing it to shear? http://www.pfadtracing.com/photos/showfull.php?photo=553 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're under the often mistaken assumption that one mount in a roll cage will take all the load. That's never true in a properly designed cage. Input loads are designed to be transferred to other cage mounting points so that no one mount takes all the load. Without that load transfer, pretty much any type of mount will fail regardless of mount design or material thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
