Topic: cage adjustamfacation, will it pass tech?
In my first go round, i set the main hoop too far forward, thus limiting how far back the seat can move. Most of the guys on the team are 6' plus, so having your knees jammed up under the dash isn't such a good things.
now the issue: I cut out the diagonal, harness and cross bar to see where the seat needed to be. it ends up withe driver helmet behind the main hoop. After some consternation, I was thinking of leaving the original hoop where it is and adding a second back where the drive is. this will be connected to the first via spreader bars. Here is a pic of what I am thinking, but with a full hoop, not just a helment hoop..
otherwise I am pretty much going to have to throw most of the current cage away, as it will all be too short. So will this pass tech and be safe?
