Topic: Cage question - miatacage parcel shelf option
Hi! We have a miata (replete with dead rats and moss) that we're looking to put a cage in and bring to Lemons. Super excited to do it, just ran a junk car event with it and had an absolute blast.
Looking over the safety rules, and cage design, all the cage examples show the door bars connected to the main hoop. We have a taller driver and want to make sure that he is able to fit and be comfortable, as well as able to exit the car quickly. It seems like the main hoop coming all the way down to the floor by the driver seat can make the seating position challenging, and miatacage offers a parcel shelf option. We have several skilled fabricators/welders on the team, but no dies for bending, and this seems like a fair option for us.
Is the design below acceptable from a safety perspective?
The borrowed roll bar currently in the car also attaches to this region, where the stock seat belts are, would like to have input from Lemons before we take the plunge on the cage.
