RWMGB pt. 47: DIY ROLL CAGE 

That would be FJ Eric! Check out his channel by the same name

That's a great idea!

I hope so!!

Saaame!

Thanks dude

Thanks!

Upholstering any car with a cage is a bitch

I'll be doing it myself, every panel on the mg is so thin it shouldn't be too hard.....im sure I'll reference this post when I start into it and tell you you were right but im choosing optimism for now🤣

It's been a long road to get here but it is really fun

Thanks dude!

Thanks Joe, I definitely wouldn't use this as a tutorial but it is a super fun project👊👊

Ah no way! At DG?? Come by sometime you can check em out

Thanks man!

Thanks yeah its going to solve a ton of problems.. wish I could remember the guys ig name but I couldn't find it

🤣🤣

Yeah dude I don't know how I made it so long without welding g

@@BUILTOFFICIAL I learned OTJ but when I get my own man it's gonna awesome. Love your work and channel brother!!

Haha yeah I like it too👊

I'm going to build a "coolant tunnel" to seal all of that off from the cab. Kind of a firewall for the lines

Utility

Thanks I hope it's all good when it's done

Reeeeeally wish I would have read this before filming this week's video lol.. didn't burn it up too bad but that's a great idea

Good call! I gotta get this seat loooooow the roof height on these cars is insanely low and I've gotta fit a helmet on my massive head

The interior will be mostly rwcecar nothing too fancy. Plenty of racecars have door panels and heat dampening so that's what I'm going off of

couldnt handle it, looked up the lyrics , the ones in question are second line from the bottom "Pretty Carolina, oh-oh, oh-oh Stone cold stunner, she was a winner Started workin' at the diner, oh-oh, oh-oh Serves as a reminder to count your blessings 'Cause this town ain't fair (This town ain't fair) It'll put you down and leave you there Don't make 'em scared, yet it's the ugly truth Are they comin' for you? Yeah, yeah (Nah)"

@@BUILTOFFICIAL I appreciate you showing the lyrics, by no means was I trying to throw shade at your channel at all, been here since the beginning of the mr2 build :) I’m glad the words weren’t what I thought, just didn’t want to throw attention to it during the video by rewinding and listening to it again IN CASE it was the F word

I did think about this but im not going off my own logic on that one... read several books and articles on cages and all of them said if the car will be on the street at all don't do overhead bars because in regulation they are always designed with a helmet in mind. I also looked at the cage in the new 911 gt2 which comes with a cage and is street legal and safety tested without a helmet on the dummy and they do no overhead bars so that was the deciding factor for me. If the car flips the main hoop should keep my head very far from the ground, further than if the car didn't have it like it comes from the factory, add in a 4 point harness and I think I'll be good. Again this is just coming from what I've read from professional cage builder that which I am not

@@BUILTOFFICIAL in Australia you can't get road registration on a car with a full roll cage. It's difficult with a half cage.

Haha fair enough

I need to shut it off ill do that today

I did, drew the design from champ car and the porsche gt2. Also looked at some off the shelf cages for the mgb specifically

@@BUILTOFFICIAL I know. You knew about building foot plates and boxes. Most people don't though. Although I'm not sure about having bends in the rear legs. I build cages for circuit racing and rear legs must be straight and parallel.

Its as bright as its going to get. We are only in this shop for a couple more months. Part of that could be the filter on the camera as well
