Appreciate it! I've got most of the dimensions written down. The dimensions will vary though with material selection and die radius. I am using a 2" die with a 6" CLR that has a measured CLR of 7.0" with the DOM tube I have. (CLR- center line radius). All of my tubing lengths and bends are calculated off of this.
My design isn't copyrighted so copy away. It isn't really even anything that I designed, it is a combination of a few cage designs I've seen. Just enough not to infringe on anyone, kinda like those 3rd grade book reports...
Chuzie, you are right in that there is a potential for something to get caught around the top of the halos. If that happens, I'm going to blame it on you... It is a good point though and one I gave some thought to. My racer is built somewhat similar to this and I've rubbed up against my fair share of trees with it. So far, it hasn't been too much of an issue. This truck hopefully won't be leaning hard against any trees. I do have some more tube to add to it to help with the 'voids' in the halo.
