Another roll cage question

[Jim Nilsen]

The biggest problem I have with using a 2 inch main hoop is that it will cost me another $300+ for the die to bend it. I am trying to do this as smart and safely as possible, i just do not see what another 1/8 in diameter that one tube would do to justify buying that die as well (being on budget sucks)

I know you want to do it all yourself but you could just have the main hoop bent for you and do the rest yourself. Don't put an expensive tool block in front of you, I've done that before and then found it easier to just go with the path of least resistance.



You can go with 1 7/8 if all you can bend is that. Mine is 1 5/8 .120 wall tubing to be lighter by 3 lb. and I wish I had gone bigger just to make the install easier. Rules are rules but most of the time where I go they don't even check that far.
