Clay that's lookin very good. I like how you followed the seat angle up
instead of straight up. Nice job!!

Thank you for noticing that Ron! That angle is 75 degrees incase you ever need to know.

I hope I never get to test it, but it feels pretty strong.

I also noticed the angle. Looks to me like its braced pretty darn good. Remember it onle weighs about 700 lbs and top speed is 35 or 40 MPH, so we'er not dealing with a race car here. You know not like hitting the wall or rolling at 175 or so MPH.

I think it would do well in a slow roll over (turning around on a steep hill). The one thing that concerns me is a suspension failure at top speed. If you loose a tie rod or something major at 40 mph and she diggs it, it could be very bad.

Thanks Keith! Can't wait to see your cage! Take lots of pix of how you mount it to the cart.

Nice work Clay nice pipe bending job. Did you cope the ends of the pipe to fit?

Clayboy · 12-29-2006, 09:12 PM

Cope? I'm not that edugumakated yet! I just notched them out with a 1.5" hole saw and a notcher. They fit pretty good.
