RollCage fabrication

[Nik@PTP]

It was a Question Intended.... I believe i figured it out.. you would use a Mirco Tig torch to get into the Tight spots, and correct me if i'm wrong. Other than using a Smaller tig torch. is there a certain technique that you would use to weld up a cage that it pretty much tucked away?

Thanks Nik

A telescoping mirror will come in handy!

One technique is to build the hoop and bars and tack them together without welding them to the floor/chassis. Then cut holes in the floor for the base to drop through and weld the top. Then raise the assembly back into position and final weld to the floor and close the floor holes.

Depending on the layout and if you are thoughtful. Sometimes you can rock the roof hoop forward or backward after tacking, weld all the way around, then rock it back into place and weld in the supports.
