Whats the part number on the rear cusco camber plates? Thanks

[Racerboy]

nobody sells them here in the states anymore. Only can get them in japan as far as I know.

connecting the cage/ the dash brace will be a work of art to accomplish effectively i'll be using plates & bolting it together. that way its still removable in any event

[FE3-323]

far from true brody.

call up corksport & talk to "derrick" nice guy who should be willing to help out. its been so long since i ordered mine id have to sort through paperwork to find the part number

Are you sure? I talked to him about them a while back and he said they don't stock them anymore.

[FE3-323]

it wasn't a stocked item when i got them either. that doesn't stop them from ordering them tho. didn't take long either.

Dash bar mounting.......

some more pictures of the metal dash support actually mounted/how i have it setup. Somewhat over complicated- yet very effective
It now doubles up a an additional bracing between the A-pillar cage bars & adds an immense amount of structural rigidity.

Doesn't need to be pretty just work

OHHH i wouldnt have thought of that

[Racerboy]

I wish I could do that for racing. It would save a little money from buying an extra few feet of tubing. But unfortunatly, it's against the rules, as it has to be 1 3/4" .095 wall tubing.

[FE3-323]

have you measured the dash bar? its bigger then 1.5" & thick .120" @ least

Yeah, I have. But they still won't allow it to be considered a part of the roll cage. They said it had to be 1 3/4" no matter how thick it is. I have a feeling their insurance has something to do with it. But I'm not sure.

see. screw sanctioning bodies............. thats just retarded. its a functional crash support to some extent OEM.
I don't see why it can't be tied in. but thats my personal view

[D323]

Are you going to put any sort of rubber pad or something between the cage and the dash bar? Might help with vibrations on the cluster/dash seeing as how the whole car is pretty much going to act like a single rigid piece

nice work Ryan.

I feel the same way, but I can't tell them that. lol

[FE3-323]

no plans on dampening the dash. it was connected to the chassis before.
in all honesty can't imagine the method i used this time would effect it any differently.
