Useful link for roll cages

I ran across this tonight and thought I would share. This company has a ton of prefab-you weld-kits in mild steel, D.O.M. and moly. The kits are $249 for the mild steel and $499 for the D.O.M. or moly. The price may seem normal but these are 10 point kits so it really is a good deal and they have almost any import car you would actually want to put a cage in. Anyway, thought it might be useful.

i payed 200 for a prebent main hoop and enough pipe to do the 4pt, x brace and a harness bar so those prices are damn good, wish i knew about them before i picked up my kit, I'd still have enough to do a full cage one day w/o having to buy more pipe.

I assume DOM tubing is preferred?

DOM FTW

DOM is drawn over mandrel, much stronger than extruded mild steel

pretty much the only thing legal for most sanctioning bodies.

i heard PVC/paper towel rolls were hot on the streets for cages these days.

oh, how i wish andy's old corolla would've gotten one of those. the ideas were there, but it never quite happened.

what about chromeoly, is that not allowed? doesnt DOM crush under 70000psi of force and moly under 90000, Just wondering what would be better considering moly would probably be too strong and might do more damage than good compared to DOM. Maybe I answered my own question?

but your pipes are small and the cage isnt all that great. sorry not hating just what i saw and heard.
