Clutch and Roll Cage Project Full.

[BurnTire]

damn, that sounds like fun. nothing like tinkerin in the garage.

btw- that looks like one stout piece!


also thought i would mention, i caught a glimpse of the cage in dan's car. oh man, its badass. some seriously high quality work in there.

I was going to do a custom cage. But I have decided to do the MM unit for now. If I ever or should I say when I decide to go into the nines. I can just unbolt the cage and have a custom 10 point done at that time.

understandable. and i wanna help put it in. just lemme know when.

I am going to tinker some more tomorrow. I have to put the LDC cooling mod in and I have to get a hole enlarged in the motor plate on the McLeod unit. It is cut for a stock flywheel and the ram flywheel rubs against it because it has much more mass on the back side.
I will be working the next 3 days / nights on it.
The cage has to go in the car and get fitted then taken back out to be welded and powder coated then back in again.

You can stop buy any time you like. I can always use and extra set of hands.

Dude, you guys need to let me know over at Performance solutions how much a cage like Dans will cost me. I'm serious about getting one.

I haven't seen the cage but if it's anything like the K-member and front arms (same people who are making the cage made the K's; I'll have the first set of arms for solid's ) it will be second to none.

More work complete

LDC Cooling Mod


Motor Plate must have a 7 inch opening to use an aftermarket flywheel.
So you must do a little cutting to make things work.



Ram Billet Steel Flywheel



Ram Power Grip HD Clutch



Tranny Back in.
Yes that is a towel in the bell housing.
The shift fork on the top side was hitting a notch in the bell housing.
So I had to to do a little grinding to get things to work.

Well after wasting an hour trying to find a machine shop that could cut it I dug out the 3" cutting wheels and about $50 of electric to run the compressor. LOL

Like Ratt told me. It doesn't have to be pretty it just had to work.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout !! If you hadn't posted up the pic, you coulda said that a special jig and plasma cutter was used to make a perfectly round 8" hole in the plate... and nobody would have known any better !!

Looks like you got a bunch of work done there, Jeff. Keep after it !

[BurnTire]

Well a 7" square hole worked for me.
I have everything done under the car. I just have to put the fiore adjuster and steeda quadrant in. Then I will throw 1 seat in and take it for a test drive.
Tomorrow I will start the cage.
Next month maybe I will get the solid done.
