Engine Cage???

[boz42]

I need to build an engine cage for my K5. So when I roll it I don't kill anything on top of the engine. It already has down tubes from the cage to the frame in the engine compartment. I am gonna build off of them. I am wondering what you guys have used to make them removable. Also if you like please share pics of what you have built. Thanks


Here are some pics of my engine bay. These are old pics, but they give you the general idea of where my tubes are.

I was thinking about seeing if Kurt would make something like his axle clamp for 1.75 inch tube. Or maybe making them myself.

Ballistic fab make some cool pieces that weld into the tube ends and allow you to unbolt them, a little pricey http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/ID-Tube-Clamp_p_1467.html

Iirc, cegusman has a nice engine cage but I can't find any pics in the gallery. Maybe he has a photobucket acct?

cegus built flanges for the crossbars on top of his motor

In the past I have just used 2 bolt flanges
